Friends of the Earth report:
British bees are in trouble. Three species are already extinct.
But we need bees.
With other pollinating insects, they’re vital to:
- Many of our favourite foods
- Our economy – without bees food prices would rise
- Our gardens, parks and countryside
Thankfully, we can save bees. And that’s what The Bee Cause is all about…

QCA NOTE: Quite apart from their benefit to us and the economy, we want to protect bees simply because they are wonderful creatures and have a right to live in their own environment.
