“Other countries have already introduced bans to prevent neonicotinoids from harming bees," he said. “This is the most comprehensive review of the scientific evidence yet and it has revealed the disturbing amount damage these poisons can cause."

Without bees we will all go to hell in a hand basket in a hurry.

This is an urgent wake-up call.

In the little town my house in Sweden is, they're holding free classes to teach people how to keep bees and are encouraging everyone to make bee hives for them to live in. There are some other bees, who live alone and who are also vital pollinators and you don't even need a hive to help them. Just don't clean up too much in the garden. Leave some piles of sticks or branches or pieces of wood with little holes drilled in them, because they live in little tight spaces. Plant bee friendly flowers. Let some veggies etc blossom instead of harvesting all of them. Lavender and chives are favourites of bees and tend themselves, Everyone can pitch in to help keep our bees alive and thriving. It feels good to do something to help. .

Very helpful advice TN, thanks

The biggest present threat to bee populations, necessary for food reproduction, is cell phones and other radiating technology.
