Our wild bees are in trouble, but you can help by supporting the New All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2021-2025.
If our wild bees could talk, they would ask us to do two things
- Let our hedgerows flower
- Let grassy areas bloom
If we did this across the island it would provide a range of native wildflowers throughout the life cycle of our wild bees and other insects and give them a fighting chance for the future.
“To humans, neatly manicured grass might look tidy, but to our wildlife it must look a bit like the apocalypse!
Shortly mown grass doesn’t support biodiversity – longer grass supports a myriad!”
Thankfully it’s easy to reverse things – just cut less often to give the slower growing wildflowers a chance to flower amongst the grass!
In 2020, Thanks to reduced mowing and more Dandelions, Biodiversity Ireland had more solitary bee records submitted than ever before! It really does make a difference!
Pollinators need more areas of native flower-rich grassland – no matter how small – in order to find enough food.
Please Don’t Mow, let it Grow
