Stop the UK from allowing EU banned bee-killing pesticide to be reintroduced.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We left the EU, now the British government will be allowing use of EU banned pesticides Neonicotinoid Thiamethoxam on crops. This is lethal to bees and other pollinators which our environment needs to pollinate crops. Bees alone pollinate 3/4 of all British crops, so it's use is counter-intuitive.
To maintain a healthy bee population which is essential for food production in the UK.
