Dr. Rosa Vásquez Espinoza, a biologist and bee expert, recently shared valuable insights on transforming gardens into bee-friendly habitats during her visit to Manchester, UK. Speaking at Heaton Park, where a large bee-friendly flowerbed was created, she emphasized the importance of planting wildflowers and allowing natural growth. According to her, weeds like dandelions are vital food sources for pollinators. Dr. Vásquez Espinoza encouraged gardeners to leave parts of their gardens uncovered, as many UK bee species nest in the ground. Additionally, shallow bowls of water can help bees hydrate. Research from National Geographic indicates that while many people care about bees, there is often a gap between intention and action. Approximately 61% of surveyed adults allow parts of their gardens to grow wild, and 73% believe their gardens are pollinator-friendly. Small changes, such as planting nectar-rich flowers and reducing pesticide use, can make a significant difference in supporting bee populations and enhancing biodiversity.
