good news for bees

Bee deaths: EU to ban neonicotinoid pesticides ...

2 year ban , on nicotine containing pesticides, should start by 1st July this year.

Let´s hope that this does help bees , and that the 2 years is sufficient to show a noticeable improvement, in bee populations, and the ban can be made permanent!
