Die Regierung plant ein „vollständiges“ Verbot bienenvernichtender Pestizide im Vereinigten Königreich

This is the group of pesticides involved

This couldn’t happen too soon and was first discussed in the same decade the stuff was developed in, unfortunately ~~more time was needed to study side affects~~ we needed a government that weren’t totally corrupt.

Wasn’t one of the major bee killers already banned, then just after Brexit the Tory Gov unbanned said pesticide?

If the pesticide is banned and the bees still don’t return, will it be re legalised?

Finally! This stuff was banned by the EU. Within days of the Brexit referendum result, farmers were lobbying politicians to allow its use in the UK. Like, money’s more important. Fuck the bees, and many other insects.
