Wild bees – highly endangered and indispensable
Around 580 species of wild bees live in Germany. As pollinators, they ensure agricultural yields, especially in fruit and vegetable cultivation. In addition, their pollination activities preserve the diversity of wild flowers. However, the habitat for wild bees and other insects is becoming scarce. There is a lack of food and nesting opportunities.

The Berlin wild bee project ‘More bees for Berlin – Berlin blossoms’ is a prime example of how public green spaces can be upgraded to be pollinator-friendly, creating urban habitats for wild bees and other insect species. To this end, the German Wildlife Foundation, in collaboration with the city of Berlin, is planting species-rich flower meadows, maintaining areas in a natural state and creating nesting habitats.
Visitors can also explore the wild bee meadow and the new insect hotel on the Seewiese in front of the Humboldt Library!
In cooperation with the German Wildlife Foundation. Funded by the Senate Department for the Environment, Transport and Climate Protection.
