Most of us can’t do all this but all of us can make our yards more hospitable to native bees and pollinators.

Many people, those that do & don't buy honey, perhaps have very little idea about where their honey comes from or the bees themselves. I certainly learnt a lot when writing my two bee books for children. This research points out that wild bees are now in danger. theconversation.com/wild-honeybe...

Wild honeybees now officially listed as endangered in the EU

The wild cousins of beehive honeybees are disappearing – here’s why that matters.

Wildbienen, Hummeln und Schmetterlingen fehlt Lebensraum. Auch das Ziel der EU-Biodiversitätsstrategie, den Anteil naturnaher Flächen in der Landwirtschaft auf 10 % zu erhöhen, reicht nicht aus. Das zeigt eine neue Studie in Science mit Beteiligung der #UniFreiburg. ufr.link/bestaeuber-lebensraum

📄 We just enriched our library with a new resource titled Crop Diversification for Pollinator Conservation. 🌿

It looks at the mechanisms and current evidence base of how increasing the diversity of crops can benefit pollinator biodiversity. Check it out here: wildposh.eu/library
