Environment
A message from Greenpeace
Please join us in asking the government to protect bees from deadly pesticide.
To make an even bigger impact, can you share the petition with friends and family?
A third of bee populations are shrinking. We must make sure the government does not approve any more bee-killing pesticides.
Every petition signature helps put pressure on the Environment Secretary, Thérèse Coffey, to act.

Fire Risk Warning!
Please note that the hot and dry conditions are likely to continue until at least the beginning of next week.
Therefore, please be careful if you are working your hives, especially with your smokers, and ensure that you do not drop any sparks or embers as there will be a heightened fire risk due to the dry vegetation! We suggest you carry water etc. for damping down.
Also, ensure you have water for yourself to keep well hydrated and watch you don’t catch the sun or get overheated! Wear a hat to keep the sun off your head and loose clothing to let the air circulate, especially under a beesuit!
And don’t forget to check that your bees have access to water, they need it too!🐝

There are also tips on grass cutting, containers, growing from seed, from cuttings, and advice on making new plants using techniques such as layering and division.
