Insects as Pollinators – Is planting flowers enough?

Dave Brice of Diptera ID Services is delighted to be working with Ecology Training UK and will be presenting Habitat Management for Insect Pollinators – via a live Webinar on Thursday March 7^th, 2024.

There is a far wider pool of insect pollinators than just the honeybee and various life stages involved other than just the adult. So, is planting flowers enough? Dave Brice looks in detail at how we need to include a much wider range of species, multiple life stages and habitats if mitigating for pollinators is to be effective.
