Pesticide protest poster

An original pesticide protest poster hangs in an underground bunker owned by Ukrainian activist Petro Shaliyevskiy, head of the Kyiv Oblast Natural Beekeeping Association. In addition to serving as a location to plan and coordinate bees' rights demonstrations, his bunker also serves as a winter home for his hives, which he relocates underground in winter to help them survive the harsh winters where he lives in Poprujznha, Ukraine.
