My Climate Change Garden

One in three mouthfuls of the food we eat relies on bees for pollination.

Pollination is  on a radical decline and results show that climate change may be to blame for the steep pollination drop.

We need to help bees as much as possible. Capital Growth are currently running a comepetition for 50 communities to win the euipment,bees and training to help them start beekeeping.

The competition closes on on Friday 28th January 2011. The winners will receive a beehive, the protective clothing, basic tools, training, mentoring and support to enable their community to set up with beekeeping by spring 2012

Bees are under attack from the use of certain pesticides .Four European countries have banned  these but a petition has been set up to extend this to all of Europe and the USA where chemical companies are lobbying hard to keep all killer pesticides on the market.
