THE PROJECT

The campaign Bee or not to be (save the bees or we may also become extinct) and the Petition for Bee Protection are initiatives of a group of bee researchers lead by CETAPIS (Apiculture and Meliponiculture Center of Rio Grande do Norte state in Brazil), of 6P Marketing, and of CBA (the Brazilian Beekeeping Confederation), with the intent to alert the public and gather support to protect the bees in Brazil and throughout the world, focused on combating the causes of CCD (colony collapse disorder). We are soliciting support from society for studies and actions directed towards discovering and combating the causes of the phenomenon of “Disappearing Bees”.

This campaign is being made public in communication channels, activist sites, social networks, and in awareness actions, in order to gather as many signatures as possible, so that it attracts the attention of science and government. Help us, signing this manifest and inviting as many people as possible to help strengthen the effort and take this cause to the authorities.
