They're trying to get a ban on the nasty stuff we spray on crops.
Can't do any harm to sign but you have to be quick.

Wish I'd put "Naked celeb photos in here" or similar in the title now.

I keep honeybees (3 hives) and I did not sign as I don't think neonicotinoids should be banned. But I do think there should be stricter controls on how farmers use them. Most of the problems have been caused by misuse or faulty equipment. When used correctly as a seed dressing there should be no risk to bees or other pollinating insects
