Many people in their gardens, and many companies on their grounds, would like to do something for wild bees but are not quite sure how to go about it. We can help.
Photo: The sharp-collared furrow bee (Lasioglossum laevigatum, female) is easy to recognise by the fox-red hairs on its mesonotum. It prefers to nest in sandy or loess-bearing soil and collects pollen from a wide range of plant families (photo: © Jürg Sommerhalder).
A visit from the expert
Our association's gardener Sebastian Wagener is an accomplished plantsman and landscape gardener with a thorough grasp of the measures that help wild bees and other pollinator groups. Walking the site together with its owners, Sebi advises on the spot about possible structural improvements and planting measures. Such a visit usually takes about two hours (excluding travel); the advice is given verbally.
Afterwards, Sebastian Wagener can be engaged for a fee — for drawing up a concrete plan, for instance, and for carrying it out.
