Save the Bees
Save the Bees
- Prohibit neonicotinoids pesticides on farm crops, to protect the bees.
- Have a strip of land all around a crop field, of wildflower meadow to help save the bees.
- Subsidise organic farming better. This also saves bees, bumblebees and butterflies.
• Work with farmers for field boundaries to return to hedgerows to help wildlife such as bees, hedgehogs and dormouse, to work towards 40 per cent more hedgerows than today. Hedgerows protect soil, clean the air and absorb carbon emissions, according to the CPRE countryside charity.
- Not permit farmland to be completely covered by solar panels. To those already lost to that, take out every other row of solar panels and put organic wildflower meadow between them, to help save the bees.
