KATE LOCK wrote an excellent column on bee health (The Press, May 4) and inspired by that I have decided to help our declining bumblebees and honeybees by creating a small online petition with the help of the campaigning group Avaaz.
The petition addresses the harmful effects of pesticides in the environment which are long lasting and damage the ecosystem.
I feel sure I will be able to get to my target of 100 signatures if a few readers help me.
You can read the petition at avaaz.org/en/petition/stop_neonicotinoids_harming_our_bees/?launch
I hope you can take a few minutes to sign.
