New car sales, dying bees, garden centres, and adverts that shock

Consumer news with Peter White. The garden centres kept alive by sales of coffees and flapjacks, silencing noisy cars, how to save our bees, and why airfares are costing us more.

Garden centres are relying on sales of coffees and flapjacks after the coldest March for a century stemmed sales of plants and flowers. We're live at a nursery in Hampshire to find out what it'll take for the hardest-hit businesses to recover.

A flight will cost you more now than it did last week - we'll tell you why. Plus the latest figures on new car sales are out; a government report makes controversial suggestions about how to save our bees and why one of the UK's biggest child protection charities is moving away from shock tactics in its adverts.

Presenter: Peter White
Producer: Simon Browning.
