That's a new one on me.
I am always deeply suspicious of sites like this, which at a glance appear to be authentic organizations but which turn out to be industry-funded PR fronts for the corporate devils.
Let us know if you discover anything... |

It seems to me they are against systemic pesticides, but pro "integrated pest management".
I'll stick with my homegrown and organic food sources... |

| I have signed the 38 Degrees petition and suggest you all send the link to all your friends. The vote will be on Tuesday I believe. I have also emailed Manuel Borosso and Duncan Cameron for what it's worth, links were posted on 38 Degrees website last week. If Syngenta win I will be taking this up personally with my local EU and AM politicians. |

Conserving wild bees
Research suggests that bumble bee boxes have a very low success rate in actually attracting bees into them. We find that if you create an environment where first of all you can attract mice inside, such as a pile of stones, a drystone wall, paving slabs with intentionally made cavities underneath, this will increase the success rate.
Most bumble bee species need a dry space about the size a football, with a narrow entrance tunnel approximately 2cm in diameter and 20 cm long. Most species nest underground along the base of a linear feature such as a hedge or wall. Sites need to be sheltered and out of direct sunlight.
There is a spectacular display of wild bee hotels here
