Conserving wild bees for crop pollination: efficiency of bee hotels in Moroccan cherry orchards ( Prunus avium ) [PDF]
Journal of Apicultural Research, 2022 Food production is highly dependent on pollination services provided by insects; 75% of the leading global food crops need animals for successful production. Pollinators, including managed and wild bees, are declining in many parts of the world. The loss of natural habitats providing nesting sites is considered as one of the main factors driving the ...

Their population has sharply declined recently, putting both flora and fauna biodiversity at risk. Many studies report that artificial nesting for reproducing solitary bees, also known as bee hotels, can support conservation and increase ...
