Great news! The votes are in. Bee-killer pesticides are going to be suspended across Europe
for the next two years. Bees can breathe a sigh of relief. ​
Sadly our environment minister, Owen Paterson, voted against the ban. But enough other
countries voted in favour and the vote was won. ​
38 Degrees members have been working hard to protect our bees. Here are some of the highlights: ​
- Over 300,000 of us signed the petition to ban these pesticides
- Over 40,000 of us emailed our MPs
​- In the environment minister's constituency, in North Shropshire, over 50 local 38 Degrees members
came face to face with him to deliver the petition and demand he changed his mind.
- Hundreds of 38 Degrees members joined up with a host of other campaign organisations to hold
a 'March of the Beekeepers' in Parliament square. ​
Thank you for being part of all this Phillip................
