🌻 What flowers attract pollinators? 🌻
🐝 Pollinators are so crucial to our food supply & local ecosystem, yet little is known about which flowers attract pollinators best.
📝 To counter this researchers from the University of Sussex have compiled research to form the 'Database of Pollinator Interactions' (DoPI).
👨🌾 This is open to the public & aims to help people 'strategically plant for pollinator species'
🦋 The innovative project has already sparked interest from researchers in the US & Canada to create similar databases!
Have a look at the database here & get planting! 👉 ow.ly/WYuF50KjAvH
