Graphic: Flowering islands in field advertising make the field barrier-free for insects and bees

How flowering islands can make fields barrier-free and connect habitats better than conventional flower strips Freising. Flower strips at the edge of fields make sense and have long been a familiar sight. But just a few meters beyond that, the habitat for butterflies and wild bees often ends again. In many places, the distances to the next oasis are too great when a "treated" field represents an insurmountable barrier.
