This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

Your petition calls for honey bees to be given the same protections as bumble bees, but there are no specific legal protections for bumble bees that could be extended to honey bees.

If there are specific protections you want to be introduced for honey bees you could start a new petition explaining clearly what protections you would like the Government or Parliament to introduce. For example, you could call for honey bees to be made a protected species, or for the Government to review existing protections for honey bee populations and habitats.
