Rädda bina! Planteringar och anlagda ängar; funkar de? I takt med att befolkningsmängden i världen ökar, växer våra städer, vilket leder till att naturliga habitat för växter och djur minskar. Vi människor förlitar oss på den naturliga miljön för att överleva. Exempelvis måste våra grödor pollineras. En viktig pollinationsgrupp är insekter. Bin, humlor, blomflugor och fjärilar är viktiga insektsUrbanisation has an increasingly negative effect on wild bees and other pollinating insects because it results in land-use change and habitat-loss, leading to population declines. We rely on ecosystem services that bees provide and must ensure their survival. Private gardens constitute a substantial part of green spaces in cities, making them important foraging habitats for pollinators. In 2018 Th
