Bee on Flower in Garden in Netherlands
Bee in garden of first prize winner in the Most Bee-Friendly Garden contest. Martha de Koning from Hoek van Holland and her husband have a 300 square meter garden with fruit trees, perennials, herbs and bushes. In the garden is a glass house situated where they grow grapes and they use parasitic wasps to combat pests. They don’t remove the hollow, dead plant stems so that wild bees feel comfortable in the garden as well. What was critical for the jury is that Martha has many different flowering plants in her garden which are a diverse food source for bees. With this contest Greenpeace and the AVVN bring to attention the importance of the bees for the food production. 70% of the food crops are pollinated by bees and other insects. Beekeepers and scientists asks for measurements on this for years but governments and trade and industry react far too slow.
