“...attributed to uncontrolled use of pesticides, a lack of flowers, & deforestation. Because of this, activists believe we need to immediately prohibit the use of pesticides, promote completely natural agricultural alternatives & carefully monitor the health & welfare of bees.”

Terrible! Stop using dangerous pesticides! Thousands of bees die and we poison humans and the earth. https://t.co/yfrOmOK4zh

Some lovely advice in here about how to help #honeybees. Plant a veggie garden, plant a herb garden, leave some water out for them, and leave them alone (don't swat them away, rather appreciate how beautiful they are!) 🐝 🐝

We all need to become more conscious about how our actions affect the environment.
"Habitat loss and degradation, commercial pathogens, and the use of pesticides, especially neonicotinoids, are cited as factors driving down the species' presence."

Leave their heads on!
Seedheads can be pretty in their own right, if you leave cutting as late as possible – some can even be left into April, providing shelter and food for wildlife. These are Campion (Silene) with grasses.

Another sad story about the negative effects of pesticides. https://t.co/Jzxpc8TQCX If they're killing bees, imagine what they're (slowly, slowly) doing to us! Don't ever use pesticides. It's bad for everyone. #savethebees #ecosystemservices #plantforpollinators #Pesticides
