No bees, no pollination. No pollination, no fruits!<br /><br />The parasites and other "diseases" commonly blamed for killing our bees are merely symptoms of the bees' weakness caused by insecticides.Peter Stewart UKIPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766575468286623779.post-69992038856245862922012-03-29T15:20:04.023+01:002012-03-29T15:20:04.023+01:00Hi Jane.

A swarm starts with a single bee after all.<br /><br />I know Cllr Allingham has already volunteered with respect to planting a wildflower garden in the rec. I'd like to see one in Turnpike Way and will happily volunteer my services there if the Council agrees to make the land available.<br /><br />Most of the Hedge End councillors voted against the car park extension, but it was an Eastleigh cabinet decision and the decision was taken out of their hands.Keith Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03224992126917407802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766575468286623779.post-40623151788017231362012-03-29T08:55:38.739+01:002012-03-29T08:55:38.739+01:00Greg Hewitt says 'It's the sort of thing w...Greg Hewitt says 'It's the sort of thing we want local councils to be doing' - well what is the council doing? There is the call for local people to come forward to make the nest boxes, plant the wild flowers and run the bee hives. Is the Council funding the project, paying for materials etc? How many Councillors are involved in this? As I see there are 21 serviing councillors, how many will be contributing to this project in their spare time? Plese print their names here. <br /><br />It seems to me the Council is actually doing nothing to protect bees as it is ploughing up wild flower meadows for station car parks and is now making a pathetic attempt to try and look good. Please don't insult residents intelligence Hedge End Council - we are not taken in. Leave the wild flower meadow alone!<br /><br /> <br />.Jane Morrisnoreply@blogger.com
