The bee population is diminishing dramatically. Flanders and the Netherlands are currently experiencing a serious pollination crisis, which is having major ecological and economical consequences. The growing of apples, pears and cherries depends highly on pollination. Areas such as Hageland, de Haspengouw in Flanders, Dutch Limburg and Zeeland are affected. Meer Natuur Voor Pittig Fruit will encourage fruit growers to install nest blocks, for example. Other concrete solutions are being found for other useful species, such as bats, dormice and mustelids. The aim is to rebuild a stable population of pollinating insects within plots and companies and throughout the region. This natural garden management – based on an ecological model that pools the latest Flemish and Dutch knowledge – aims to combat the honeybee decline. It also offers opportunities for pest control using fewer chemicals. The project, led by Regionaal Landschap Zuid-Hageland, involves managers of biotopes in the wider vicinity of the orchards, such as municipalities, water boards and land managers. (English)
