CREATE A BUZZ
It is up to our leaders to take action for our pollinators. You can help to put the pressure on in a number of ways.
One of the easiest ways to make change is to spread awareness! Check out our images to share and ways to get creative…

With toxic bee killing pesticides in the air, our bees need a sanctuary, and if the government won’t protect our bees, we will! Send a strong message that our bees are in danger by building a bee refuge! Also known as bee hotels, they are the bee equivalent of a birdhouse. They provide nesting spaces for certain solitary bees and protect them for dangerous pesticides like thiamethoxam. This will in turn help increase bee populations and the pollination services they provide. A clear step by step guide on how to create your bee refuge can be found here. Remember to share your bee refuge on social media with the hashtag #BuzzOffNeonics, with a caption spreading awareness about our campaign.
