Washington, September 14 : A new research has suggested that roadsides could serve as nature preserves for crucial pollinators, particularly native bees.
The research was started by Jennifer Hopwood, while she was in graduate school in ecology at the University of Kansas in Lawrence.
“I just became really interested in the idea that roadsides could be potential habitat for animals and could also be a haven for plant species,” she said.
According to a report in Discovery News, roadsides planted with native plants hosted more than twice as many total bees and almost 50 percent more bee species than roadsides covered in non-native grasses, as indicated by findings from the study.
