What the petition asks
This pesticide is proven to be harmful to bees, as well as contaminating the soil and water.
This pesticide is proven to be harmful to bees, which are vital pollinators and already suffering population decline. The emergency decision from Defra needs to be reversed.
No one crop is important enough to jeopardise bees, without which our entire food system would be at risk.
This pesticide is banned in the EU on the basis of its proven harm to pollinators and to use it even for a short period will contaminate soil and water.
