A bee hedge is a combination of trees and plants which have flowers during different periods of the year. They attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators and also animals can rest in the hedge and are feed from the nectar. This activity is part of the Save the Bee campaign of Greenpeace. Aim is to emphasize the importance of the bees for the food production. 70% of the food crops are pollinated by bees and other insects. Beekeepers and scientists ask for measurements on this for years but governments and trade and industry react far too slow.In original language:Greenpeace Vrijwilligers Planten Bijenhaag in NederlandGreenpeace vrijwilligers planten een bijenhaag langs een van de akkers van Tuinderij Oer in een natuurreservaat vlakbij Zutphen. Een bijenhaag bestaat uit bomen en planten die gedurende verschillende perioden in het jaar bloeien. Hierdoor zijn ze aantrekkelijk voor bijen, vlinders en andere bestuivers. Ook andere dieren vinden in de heg een schuilplaats en kunnen de nektar als voedsel gebruiken. Deze activiteit maakt deel uit van de "Red de bijen-campagne" van Greenpeace. Doel van de campagne is om bewustzijn te vergroten voor de rol die bijen spelen bij de voedsel productie. 70% van de gewassen worden bestoven door bijen en andere insecten. Imkers en wetenschappers bevestigen dit al jaren maar overheden en het bedrijfsleven reageren te langzaam met het nemen van maatregelen om bijensterfte t.g.v. pesticiden gebruik en monocultuur tegen te gaan.Locations:Netherlands-Voorst-Western EuropeDate:5 Nov, 2016Credit:© Marten van Dijl / GreenpeaceMaximum size:4976px X 3340pxKeywords:Biodiversity-Day-Fields-Food for Life (campaign title)-Greenpeace volunteers-KWCI (GPI)-Medium group of people-Men-Nature-Outdoors-Rural scenes-Save the Bees (Campaign title)-WomenShoot:Planting a Bee Hedge in the NetherlandsVolunteers plant a bee hedge at an original garden, called Tuinderij Oer in a nature reserve close to the village of Zutphen.
