Just a quicky – a friend of mine sent me this link to the Soil Assciation’s web site. They have an on-line petition, lobbying the government to ban certain agricultural pesticides that are thought to harm honey bees. I’ve signed it and thought other GoYers would also like to, so here’s the link:-

(thank you to Ajay for explaining to me how to do a link!!)

Duly signed Sid. The decline of honey bees is one of the most frightening things that is happening nowadays. Hopefully the Government will sit up and take notice ! :-))

No probs Amy. I THINK this is how I did it! Put in speech marks the words you want to be visible in your blog as the link, then put a colon and then http:etc with the web site to link to, as below: (should all be on one line)

"this is my link":http://www.soilassociation.org/Takeaction/Savethehoneybee/tabid/434/Default.aspx
