Abstract The decline of European honey bees ( Apis mellifera ) has been a prominent part supporting pollinator conservation among the public and efforts, even while are not native to North America may compete for resources with insect pollinators. However, little is known about what distinguishes support pollinators, including solitary bees, majority which provides use non‐use values distinct from though some natives have faced more precipitous die‐offs. Using data collected general beekeepers in Louisiana, we adopt contingent valuation method investigate value conserving bees. Results suggest modest moderate positive willingness pay bee conservation, possibly higher versus public. Significant heterogeneity exists between terms their knowledge attitudes other

Pollination ecosystem service contributes tremendously to food security; however, little is known about the farmers’ awareness of ensure conservation pollinators. This study determined perceptions, knowledge, attitudes toward bees, and pollination in a maize-producing region Zimbabwe using semistructured questionnaires ( N = 828). Generalized linear model logit regressions were used determine factors influencing ability identify knowledge pollination, fear respectively. Identification bees was positively related education, years farming, negatively p < .001). Fear influenced by gender, bee attack fatalities, perception importance The majority respondents (67%) confirmed (χ 2 96.043, .001), probability knowing higher for those who depended on media compared with extension school education as source farming information Our findings suggest that improve conservation, farmers should be made more aware diverse fauna, specifically regarding their benefits pollinators few dangers (resulting from stings) order reduce increase willingness conserve bees. Bee programs need accessible women, youth, less formal they exhibited least knowledge. also support evidence showing officers consider various options effective dissemination different target audiences.

No Mow May is a community science initiative popularized in recent years that encourages property owners to limit their lawn mowing practices during the month of May. The goal provide early season foraging resources for pollinators emerge spring, especially urban landscapes when few floral are available. We worked with city council Appleton, Wisconsin, USA. allow take place 2020. Four hundred and thirty-five registered Appleton. measured bee richness abundance yards subset homes (N = 20) located near regularly mowed parks 15) at end month. found participated had more diverse abundant flora than green spaces throughout city. three times higher five abundances frequently greenspaces. Using generalized linear models, we best predictor was size designated unmowed area, predictors were area as well richness. While our findings cannot conclusively attribute increases efforts, data does show make use no mow key spring upper midwestern United States. A post-No survey revealed participants keen increase native yards, nesting habitat, reduce intensities, herbicide, pesticide, fertilizer applications lawns. educated an engaged on improve conservation future years.
