Why Are Bees In Danger?

Bee numbers are falling across the globe. A new report has concluded that a widespread crash in pollinators across the UK is due to farming intensification and use of pesticides and well as climate impacts. 

We campaign for farming that supports our pollinators: protecting space for insects and wildlife, and helping more farmers go organic to reduce the use of pesticides.
