It’s been a terrible time to be an bee. But there may be cause for optimism, with the announcement that the UK will back a total ban on insect-harming pesticides in fields across Europe.
To celebrate this encouraging U-turn, we want to see your pictures of bees, whenever you took them and wherever you are in the world.
Depending where you live in the world, November may not be the best time to spot a bee. But if you are able to delve into your photostreams and share past sightings, we’ll put the best in a gallery on the Guardian website.
