Bees are important to the ecology. Bees are pollinators and not pests so they should never be killed for no valid reasonable reason.Angeline Tan (Singapore, 2021-11-11)

I agree that bees should be protected by law. It makes no sense for Town Councils to engage pest exterminators to deal with bees and they will not stop doing so as long as the law allows it.Rachel Chan (Singapore, 2021-11-11)

These Singaporean bees provide us with essential ecological services, and with rapid urbanization and habitat loss, we should be responsible for and protect them.Matthew Lim (Singapore, 2021-11-11)

We need to save our bees as they are vital to the environment. They help our trees, plants and flowers to thrive. Singapore is a garden city. We need bees and they are harmless.Lily Toh (Singapore, 2021-11-11)

I’m signing because I believe that Singapore is moving towards a new phase in transforming into a greener nation. This is supported by the efforts that Singapore made with the implementation of the SG Green plan 2030, first point being making Singapore a “City in Nature” and second being striving towards a “Green economy” by 2030. I truly believe that if Singapore wants to draw closer to the 17 SDG (sustainable development goals), we first have to support our local efforts in two main areas, financially to keep the business functional and implementing changed efforts to circulate our natural resources sustainably instead of destructively.Johnson Tan (Singapore, 2021-11-11)

I recognize the importance of bees to our ecosystem, our very survival. It is unthinkable that our government agencies are still resorting to extermination when they are the ones who are most informed. If this is the only way to save our bees then I'm all for it.Eunice Leow (Singapore, 2021-11-12)

CarpenterBees are very non-aggressive, the males that collect food are stingless and even the females only sting if you handle them.They are an essential part of the flora and wildlife in Singapore and should be protected in Singapore, just like I protect them in my garden.

Used to use pest control for hive removals but then realised this is senseless to kill something natural and useful for nature. I've had several hives removed now and it just makes so much sense to let the bees thrive and work in partnership with nature.Phillip Wang (Singapore, 2021-11-12)

I’m signing because, I had the option to remove a new hive and chose the humane way. Because bees are so important to the broader eco system.Because we live in their environment and they in ours - extermination should not be the default way to remove bees.

Bees are part of our ecosystem and should be respected as a living thing just like any local species. I have often witnessed dead bees in my estate after an extermination and it really hurts to see hundreds of dead bees everywhere. Although there are some concerns of allergies and such, bees are usually not aggressive unless provoked. Extermination of bees called by the public is often due to fears and misunderstanding of bee behaviours due to the proliferation of popular culture depicting bees as dangerous creatures. If there really is concern for safety, there are many companies who can safely relocate the bees and thus not warrant for unnecessary killing of bees.Latricia Tay (Singapore, 2021-11-12)

I am signing this petition because bees are essential to all humanity. They must not be exterminated by our species.Geraldine Hebras (Singapore, 2021-11-12)

To resolve a report of a colony of bees, the easiest and most profitable way for pest control is outright extermination. Unfortunately this is also the cheapest route for town councils and government agencies.By protecting bees, it does make the control of unwanted colonies more time consuming, but not impossible. Yes, it will cost more - as I have personally experienced with a bee colony on my premises, but a lot more fulfilling to see them relocated rather than exterminated.

Bees are so important to our entire ecosystem and they're really harmless (unless provoked). I witness my back neighbour's contractors brutally destroy a dwarf beehive after we told them it was right outside our window and we even told them to please pay a little to get it re-located but they just destroyed the tree and the bees. It's also harmful because our house is right there and I have young toddler. I don't understand how someone with such a big house cannot spend a little to remove the beehive humanly, or maybe it's just the contractors were being cheapskate.Kenneth Kwok (Singapore, 2021-11-12)

These species are poorly understood but essential pollinators of native forest species. unregulated pest control services cause unrecorded mortalies, in effect harming the very resilience of the local. Forest ecosystems.Jamie WhitehOuse (Singapore, 2021-11-12)
