Phenology of farmland floral resources reveals seasonal gaps in nectar availability for bumblebees
Floral resources are known to be important in regulating wild pollinator populations and are
therefore an important component of agri‐environment and restoration schemes which aim …

Mass‐flowering crops dilute pollinator abundance in agricultural landscapes across Europe
Mass‐flowering crops (MFC s) are increasingly cultivated and might influence pollinator
communities in MFC fields and nearby semi‐natural habitats (SNH s). Across six European …

Flower plantings support wild bee reproduction and may also mitigate pesticide exposure effects
Sustainable agriculture relies on pollinators, and wild bees benefit yield of multiple crops.
However, the combined exposure to pesticides and loss of flower resources, driven by …
