Gardens prevent pollinators from starving when farmland nectar is scarce

Summary

Nutrition label

80% Informative

Scientists at the University of Bristol found that gardens can provide between 50% and 95% of the total nectar during these critical times.

Consistency means even small patches of gardens in rural areas can sustain pollinators, particularly in early spring and late summer when nectar is scarce.

In contrast, farmland nectar almost disappears during certain months potentially leaving pollinators struggling.
