Dear John,

We’ve been busy bees all summer long. But it’s been yet another tough year for us bees to find food and shelter because there aren’t many wildflowers about. And pesticide use on the food crops that we pollinate for you causes us harm.  

So, before we go into hibernation, I’d like to ask a favour. Autumn is in full-swing, so it’s your last chance to sow some bee-friendly wildflower seeds in time for next spring. We’ll be hungry after a long winter, so please donate for your Bee Saver Kit today.

By donating for a kit, you can become a bee-saving expert. Or you can give it as a gift for a budding bee enthusiast in your life.

The Bee Saver Kit includes:

• Wildflower seeds – to help provide vital food and habitat for us.
• Bee saver guide – tips to save bees like us, and how to build a bee hotel.
• Bee spotter guide – to identify our bee friends visiting your garden.
• Garden planner – to help you plan a bee-friendly garden.
• Bee postcard – to send to your loved ones.
• Bee Saver Kit folder – to store your bee-saving materials in one place.

Your donation today will power Friends of the Earth’s fight to protect precious wildlife – just like us. This year Friends of the Earth handed in a petition that almost 250,000 of you signed to demand a target to reduce pesticide use. And its campaigners are prepared if the government gives another greenlight for the use of a bee-killing pesticide in the new year.

There’s still lots to do to protect and restore nature for us all. Your support means Friends of the Earth can persuade the government to take action. In the meantime, will you give us bees a chance?

Thank you so much for protecting us.

PS It’s your last chance to donate for your Bee Saver Kit in time for autumn sowing and create a brighter future for us bees.
