"Save the Bees" Stand at Libelle Zomerweek Fair in Almere

Greenpeace attends the popular yearly consumers Libelle Zomerweekfair in Almere with a stand about the current bee campaign "Save the Bees". Visitors can enter a giant "tree" in which they can see and experience an environment with and without bees by images, sound and a bit of sprayed "poison". A third of our food crops are pollinated by bees and other insects. Healthy bee populations are of ecological and economic importance. There is an urgent need for the elimination of bee-harming pesticides from agriculture. Such elimination would be a crucial and effective first step to protect the health of bee populations and to safeguard their pollination. With this campaign Greenpeace wants to emphasize the value of the bees.
