A clever use of bees and advertising to highlight the issue over a decline bee population. Daily What links to the Plan Bee campaign which aims to kick 2010 into rebuilding the bee population.
" 1. Bees contribute £200m a year to the UK economy through pollination. Examples of foods pollinated by bees.
2.Bee numbers in the UK have halved over the last 20 years. Last year alone a fifth of bee colonies did not survive the winter.
3.No-one knows for certain what is causing bee losses. Explanations include: bad weather, pesticides, importing of non native bee species, viruses and a mite called Varroa.
4.Neonicontinoids are a group of pesticides that have been linked to bee declines elsewhere in Europe. Sign our petition.
5. There are 44,000 beekeepers in the UK and over 95% are amateur. It’s easier to keep bees than you might think!""-Plan Bee
Sounds like the website is also encouraging home bee keeping. Looks like the campaign is one from the Co-operative store.
