Here’s a good idea. The population of honey bees is dropping dangerously low so someone needs to petition governments to do something about it – even if that something is just investigating why this is happening. No one knows. It’s a mystery.

A website called Cameron’s Bee Beard has just been set up to let people add a virtual bee to the face of British Prime Minister David Cameron and build a petition. A petition composed of bee tweets! The actual petition will be on recycled paper when it’s presented to Number 10 but I’m sure the imagery will catch attention.

The site asks you to login to Twitter (using Oauth so it’s safe) and share your message. You can even follow the bee beard on Twitter at @davidsbeebeard.

This blogger thinks this is a fantastic idea. Clever. Attention grabbing – without resorting to glueing yourself to the bank’s front desk – and productive. Will you be adding to David’s Bee Beard?
