Bee billboard hits David Cameron's backyard 22 June 2013
Our billboard has arrived in the Prime Minister's constituency in Witney.
The billboard displays the names of 10,000 people who are calling on David Cameron to save British bees.
As it arrived in Witney town centre, the billboard was met by local beekeepers, conservationists and Friends of the Earth volunteers dressed in giant bee costumes.
For the rest of the week it'll be travelling around the constituency, from Witney to Burford and Chipping Norton.
Overwhelming support
A total of 70,000 people have now signed our petition calling for a Bee Action Plan.
They've been joined by over 200 MPs, retailers including B&Q and The Co-op, and leading bee academics from across the UK.
Friends of the Earth Nature campaigner Paul de Zylva said:
Given the sheer number of people that have backed our call for a National Bee Action Plan, I'm amazed the Government hasn't acted yet. Let's hope this billboard stimulates Cameron to listen to 70,000 people and make 2013 the Year of the Bee with national action on this crucial issue.
