MORE than 1.6 million people have backed calls to ban bee-killing pesticides.
The petition, co-ordinated by Greenpeace UK, was handed in to the Department of Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (Defra) today, addressed to environment minister Emma Hardy.
Campaigners dressed in bee outfits delivered the petition and carried placards that read “Pesticides Buzz Off” and “Bee Safe.”
