The conservation of bees and other pollinators is currently very high on the public agenda. Indeed, landscape, conservation and biodiversity are inextricably linked and this book takes a comprehensive look at the European scene. Originally published in 1994 it is appropriate for IBRA to republish this important book which will help to link existing schemes for the management of agricultural land with broader policies with the aim to encourage all land holders to consider pollinators in their management strategies.
