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:-

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 ! :-))
