British bees are vital to our food supply and economy. But their numbers have declined dramatically.

Friends of the Earth are launching The Bee Cause so that together we can help save British bees.

Sri Lanka is bidding to host the Commonwealth Games in 2018. The area they propose to build the stadia is currently home to several species of endangered wildlife. Call on the government to withdraw their disastrous bid.
