Dorothy Kelk, from Central Lancashire Friends of the Earth, said: “Thousands of fracking wells could be in the pipeline in the future, which could threaten our countryside and habitats for nature.
“We wanted to highlight the plight of bees as one example of the threats our precious nature face from industrialisation.”
