BeeBeard

David’s bee beard – help save our bees!

The number of honey bees in the UK has halved over the past 15 years; a loss with huge ramifications as these little guys are responsible for pollinating over a third of our food. That means one in three mouthfuls of the grub us Brits guzzle is produced by bees.

So fewer bees in our fields means less food for us and less cash for the Kingdom. In fact, due to their vital role in the agricultural process, honey bees are estimated to be worth around £200million to the British economy.

What can I do to help?

Tweet a message of support to our very special bee beard. Once we’ve collected 10,000 of your lovely messages, we’ll hand deliver them to Number 10 on fancy stationary as a proper petition.

If you’re brave enough to don a real bee beard, let us know. We just might pick you to be the brave lad/y to hand over this Twittiton to Mister Cameron.

To show your support and Tweet to the petition, just go to http://www.cameronsbeebeard.com

LBi petition to save the dying bee population

LBi has created ‘BeeBeard’, a buzzy Twitter petition to save the dying bee population.

Tweet to add your petition to the cause @davidsbeebeard and for every tweet, a bee will be popped on to David Cameron’s virtual Beebeard. The Beebeard will also talk back to you with witty bee banter.

So honey, join the buzzzz and add your own bee to David Cameron’s virtual Beebeard and petition Number 10 to save our bees. We need 10,000 twitter signatures within 4 weeks – it’s gonna be a hive of tweets. David’s beard will tweet back witty bee banter and give tips on supporting bees in local communities and also initiatives people can get involved into support our lovely bees.

With the Government saving drive in full swing, we would like to remind government to support DEFRA, The British Beekeepers Association and others in their efforts into the global problem with honey bee health. The BBKA estimates that another £8+m of Government funding is urgently needed to finance a programme of research to confront the problems, but the results of doing nothing could be catastrophic.

Europe’s largest marketing and technology agency, LBi came up with this ‘buzzy’ concept to sting number 10. LBi also came up with the online social media and epr and it’s been coproduced by brand new agency Your Mum …. the first ever twitter campaign asking people to petition for more research into the declining bee population and a repository for tips on how you can individually help the bee population.
