Roscommon County Council is hosting two free Workshops aimed at providing better habitats for Bees as part of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan.
Irish bees, crucial in the pollination of our plants, trees and vegetables, are in decline. This is because we’ve drastically reduced the areas where they can nest and the amount of food our countryside provides for them. Local communities can lead the way in driving a better and more sustainable balance for pollinators. Simple things from changing your mowing regime in certain areas, to planting pollinator friendly trees and shrubs or drilling holes in wooden fencing for solitary bees to nest, can make a big difference. Many of the biodiversity or nature and wildlife things you are doing already may be very helpful to pollinators.
Details of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2015-2020 and resources for community groups on how to help pollinators can be found here.
