Neonicotinoids are the world’s most widely-used insecticides, but they are harmful to bees. Bees, of course, are a crucial part of our environment, and they pollinate crops. These insecticides were banned from the European Union in 2013, but after pressure from the National Farmers’ Union, the UK government has agreed to allow use of the chemicals in certain parts of the country. See this article on the matter by Friends of the Earth. Please support the campaign to retain the ban on neonicotinoids!
