Good, good.

But will the governments also reduce the amount of CO2 and pesticide that kills the bees ?

The bee and wasp populations have been decreasing especially in the inner city concrete jungles.

Funny you should mention that - I'm pretty sure there are actual inner city beekeepers in places like London etc.

But yes, if the bee populations disappear, we are all in big trouble.
