Crops and wildflowers need a rich diversity of wild pollinators. Managed honeybees are just one species and are outnumbered by over 2,000 species of wild bees in Europe. It is a big risk to rely on one species, such as honeybees, to pollinate plants. Changing climate and disease can wipe out a single species, so a diversity of pollinators ensures that there are plenty of reserves ready to do the job. To ensure good pollination of our food crops and wildflowers, we need to support a wide diversity of different pollinators across Europe. Rules, discussion tips, quiz, excursion.
Bees and hoverflies
Pollinators help plants to reproduce. When they visit flowers, they transfer pollen between the male and female parts of plants so that seeds and fruit can grow. In Europe, pollinators are mostly insects, but we need the wind for cereal crops. Bees and hoverflies are top of the list, but butterflies, moths, some beetles and other flying insects are also important. There are thousands of different types of wild pollinators in Europe, all with an important job to do. Why are they in danger? Numbers of wild pollinators are declining around Europe.
