The Bumble bee Conservation Trust have been short listed for a Lottery grant which will help them enormously.
Please see below as voting started yesterday and continues until 13th August.
The final will be televised.
The Scottish finalists are:
The Bumblebee Conservation Trust – competing for Best Environment Project – is based at Stirling University and was founded in 2006 to raise awareness about the decline of bumblebees and the consequences for our countryside and food security. Set up with Lottery funding to cover running and staff costs, the Trust has grown rapidly in the last four years. It now has over 6,000 members and works with the public, farmers and land managers right across the UK to prevent further declines and look after bumblebee populations for future generations. The public can vote for BBCT by calling 0844 686 1189 or going online to www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/awards
We need all our bees so please get voting!
many thanks

~ Thanks everyone~ don't forget to tell your grandchildren and your friends as this is a national vote and everyone will count!
In my opinion the most serious threat to our well being after rising world sea temperatures (ie global warming )is the decline in our bee population~ we can't let this continue and expect to have all the food the world needs~
