of butterflies and bees!

What can we do to address the situation?

Start a scheme like Birdwatch?

On the Bee Bee See of course.

Ban the harmful pesticides.

We can all get a beehive. They were fashionable once.

And put up signs directing butterfies to our neighbour's cabbages, etc..

I think pesticides and herbicides are the root of the problems, and it would be a much safer world without them.
