Biodiversity is the key!

2026-01-20T16:44:09+01:00

Did you know that a rich and diverse habitat is a true paradise for ? Here's why: #pollinators Increases ecosystem resilience to environmental variations Attracts more pollinators through variety of: - Flower shapes and colors - Ways of accessing nectar and pollen - Flowering periods distributed throughout the season Provides diversified habitats for insect reproduction and overwintering through different leaf and stem characteristics. A greater variety of plant species creates a more resilient and hospitable ecosystem for different insect species, ensuring continuous resources over time.

Native Plants: The Secret to a Healthy Ecosystem!

2026-01-20T16:43:25+01:00

Did you know native plants are vital for our biodiversity? They're perfectly adapted to the local climate, attract crucial pollinators, and require less care. Choosing native plants means: - Ideal Adaptation: Natural resilience to local climate and conditions. - Pollinator Friends: Irreplaceable support for bees and other beneficial insects. - Sustainability: Less water, less maintenance. - Ecological Identity: Preserving the unique character of our environment. - Restoration Ready: The ideal choice for environmental restoration projects, as shown by the LIFE PollinAction project. Picking native plants helps keep nature healthy, benefiting everyone!     LIFE Programme   #LIFEprogramme#LIFEproject#EUpollinators#Natura2000   #pollinators#bees Photo [...]

Sunflower – The flower that follows the sun

2025-03-10T10:18:16+01:00

Sunflower - The flower that follows the sun The common sunflower (Helianthus annuus, family Asteraceae) is a majestic annual plant, native to the Americas, that can grow up to 3 meters tall. Its name comes from its unique ability to follow the sun's movement throughout the day. The inflorescence , which can measure up to 30 cm in diameter, is actually composed of hundreds of tiny flowers, called florets, arranged in a spiral. It blooms in summer and acts as a true magnet for pollinators! Bees, bumblebees, and other insects frequently visit its flowers, drawn by the abundant nectar and [...]

Do you know about rural hedgerows?

2025-02-06T10:59:23+01:00

Do you know about rural hedgerows?   Hedgerows are typical elements of the traditional rural landscape, made up of trees and shrubs arranged in rows. They are not just natural boundaries between fields but true biodiversity reserves that break the monotony of cultivated lands!   Many originated as remnants of ancient forests, preserving native species such as hawthorn, blackthorn, and elderberry. Their abundant blossoms provide nectar and pollen, essential for bees and other pollinators, especially in early spring!   #hedgerows Did you know?   Hedgerows act as natural barriers, reducing wind strength by 40% and lowering summer temperatures by 2°C [...]

Common Vetch: a treasure for fields and meadows

2025-02-06T10:54:43+01:00

Common Vetch A treasure for fields and meadows The common vetch (Vicia sativa, family Fabaceae) is an annual herbaceous plant that adorns fields with its vibrant pink-violet flowers. Ranging in height from 10 to 90 cm, it thrives in meadows, cultivated fields, fallow lands, roadsides, and slopes. Its stems either spread along the ground or climb using the tendrils found on its leaves. Vetch is highly valued by pollinators, especially bees , which find in its flowers a rich source of nectar and pollen. As a legume, it also plays a crucial role in soil health, fixing atmospheric nitrogen through [...]

Tree Bumblebee An exceptional pollinator!   Bumblebees are close relatives of honeybees: they are hymenopteran insects belonging to the family Apidae, genus Bombus. Like bees, bumblebees are social insects living in colonies ruled by a queen . They are incredibly important and super-efficient pollinators!   Tree Bumblebee (Bombus hypnorum) is a bumblebee that nests in tree cavities – hence its name. It is easily recognized by its tawny thorax, black abdomen with a white tail, and its fast, noisy flight. It is one of the few bumblebee species that has adapted to urban areas .   The nest is relatively [...]
