Bumblebees are very important pollinators. Two-thirds of the world's crop species depend on animals to transfer pollen between male and female flower parts and without them food wouldn't grow. While other animals such as birds, bats and butterflies pollinate, bumblebees are particularly good at it.
Making a mini meadow is an easy way to create a small wildflower area in your garden. Not only will it bring your garden to life but the bees, butterflies and a host of other wildlife will thank you for it. Flowers attract insects by providing them with two rich sources of food - nectar and pollen, which also provide a complete diet for both adult bees and their larvae.
