Mass migration of hoverflies was observed near Prague city in a highly agricultural landscape, representing only the second record of hoverfly migration in the Czech Republic. This rare observation was likely driven by the need to rest, shelter and replenish energy, although most flowers had already finished blooming.

Revegetated mine tailing storage facilities support pollinator abundance, diversity, richness and evenness comparable to recently logged boreal forest sites. Agronomic and spontaneous revegetation strategies host similar pollinator and Bombus community structures, indicating multiple rehabilitation approaches can effectively restore pollinator habitat.
