Only if you are a UK citizen or have a UK postcode you can use.

To maybe help some of you sign...the British government and Bee Keepers Association seem intent to ignore growing evidence that insecticides are a contributing factor behind the decline of bees. The government has entrusted research into the decline of bees to be carried out by the agrochemical companies who manufacture insecticides. These very same companies make large donations to the British Bee Keepers Association, who in turn says their products are bee-friendly. Cosy or what? Please sign the petition and forward so that others my sign it too, before it’s too late.

She says, smugly from Italy where bees numbers are growing since neonicotinoids were partially banned.
