Solutions to help pollinators can be tested using a “virtual safe space” tool created by scientists at the University of Exeter in collaboration with farmers and land managers.
Bee-Steward is a decision-support tool which provides a computer simulation of bumblebee colony survival in a given landscape.
The tool lets researchers, farmers, policymakers and other interested parties test different land management techniques to find out which ones and where could be most beneficial for bees. [Read more…] about Farmers help create ‘Virtual safe space’ to save bumblebees
