Non-honey bees


Crossing the road

Road verges are often buzzing with pollinators. If they are rarely mowed, or even consist of sown flowers, they provide food for bees, butterflies and others. But living by a road has its disadvantages. One of them is a risk of being hit by car when crossing the road. I don’t know whether costs or benefits of flowering road verges for pollinators prevail, the review I read on the topic was inconclusive. Anyway, I would not sow flowers on the highway median strip.
