Pressurise the government to ban the use of neonicotinoid insecticide in UK.
Research studies have linked the use of neonicotinoid insecticides with sudden hive collapse syndrome, where entire populations of crop pollinating bees are wiped out. These chemicals are banned elsewhere in E.U, but not in UK. These insecticides should be banned as loss of bees pose a critical risk to sustainability of our agriculture
