Dear John
Now that spring’s finally sprung, bees are busy building their homes and stocking up on food supplies – ready for a fresh start as the days get longer.
But it seems like every season brings a new challenge to bees’ survival. Despite promises to halt species loss, the UK government has allowed the temporary use of a harmful banned pesticide – against its scientific advisers’ advice. It could have disastrous effects on bees’ ability to forage and navigate.
There are no two ways about it – bees are in trouble. But you can help. Donate today for a Bee Saver Kit and we’ll send you everything you need to start doing your bit for bees this spring. Plus, your donation will help us continue campaigning to restore and protect nature.

Even if it’s just a small patch of green space, you can still provide nectar, pollen and shelter for bees and other vital pollinators. You’d be surprised at how much you can grow in a window box.
Your donation today will help Friends of the Earth continue its important work, including protecting the bees.
Thank you so much,
