Gardening for Pollinators: It’s not just about flowers
Britain’s pollinators are extraordinary
Did you know that Britain is home to around 270 species of bee, 60 species of butterfly, 900 species of moth, and 270 species of hoverfly? Alongside this extraordinary range of creatures are hundreds of beetles, wasps and other insects that quietly move pollen from flower to flower. Some ecologists estimate as many as 6,000 insect species in Britain may play a role in pollination.
