On the day the Scottish Parliament welcomed its very own honey bees I lodged this motion in The Scottish Parliament calling on protection for Scotlands pollinators: Motion S4M-10368: Angus MacDonald, Falkirk East, Scottish National Party, Date Lodged: 17/06/2014 Scotland’s Pollinator Population That the Parliament acknowledges that pollinators are essential to healthy ecosystems in Falkirk East and across the rest of the country but are fragile and can therefore be easily damaged or diminished; believes that there should be sustainable populations of all pollinators and notes calls for society to save and sustain them; understands that the principles highlighted in the Buglife manifesto, Get Britain Buzzing, call for action by the Scottish Government to develop and implement action plans, coordinate pollinator monitoring programmes, reduce pesticides that harm pollinators and conserve pollinator species while maintaining places for pollinators to feed and breed; notes the recent ban on damaging pesticides, and notes calls for similar work emphasising the importance of sustaining pollinators for Scotland’s agricultural and horticultural economies.
