      Good evening @Spruce I have just received this email about a petition so I thought I would post it here:smile:

      Dear Woo

      Our bees are in danger again. Toxic chemical companies are trying to get their banned pesticides back on UK fields.Yesterday an application was submitted to the government asking them to lift the ban on bee-killing chemicals for some crops planted this autumn.

      Bees don’t have a voice, but 38 Degrees members do. Together, we fought for a Europe-wide ban, now we need to stop it getting watered down. [2]

      Please can you sign the petition right now demanding that we keep the ban on bee-killing pesticides?

                        I think it's just too bloomin' cold, virtually no bees out and about here today. Cloudy with a cold breeze this afternoon,
