These little insects are threatened by loss of habitat,
certain insecticides, and disease.
The loss of bees as
pollinators would be a disaster not just for lovers of honey, but also for farmers and
gardeners. It would cause food prices to soar.
The walk starts from Shipbourne Common Sunday May 19, and
will be 5 miles long.
(Dressing up as a bee, or wearing yellow and black clothes for
the walk is optional, but encouraged)
You can get a sponsor form and friends of the Earth ‘bee
cause’ petition cause from TandM.foe@gmail.com or just donate £5, and go along for the walk (dogs on leads are welcome).
Thanks for posting this TD, it's my wife's FOE group and they have secured one of the costumes above. Will you be walking? If so we'll see you there. Regards Fred & Fran Long.
