We sat down with Sabrina Von der Heide from BienenBl\u00fctenReich-Team and gained exciting insights into her work: What is behind regionally adapted seeds? Why is a single square meter of flowering area not enough – and what can each and every one of us do anyway? And what does it actually mean when a donation creates a habitat for wild bees, butterflies and beetles? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Since then, I’ve been part of the BienenBl\u00fctenReich team and take care of corporate collaborations, advise our area partners and am also increasingly involved in public relations work. Our team consists of professionally competent biodiversity consultants. Of course, we are driven by the purpose behind everything we do. We are highly motivated to work sustainably for our insects. And at the same time, we complement each other very well as people.

\nEvery little contribution counts. And it is precisely this knowledge that motivates me, that every small contribution counts and that it is possible to get people to think and rethink through good communication. Where does the jam on our breakfast table come from, how do we make our coffee, our chamomile or thyme tea or our marigold-based hand cream and the delicious strawberries that can be harvested from our regions during the season? They are not simply conjured out of a black hat and then appear on the supermarket shelves. They have to be grown in good soil and, above all, pollinated in order to produce fruit in the first place.

These are farmers or private individuals, parishes and municipalities who have approached us with intrinsic motivation and want to work towards more biodiversity. The donations we receive from private individuals and companies enable us to finance the seeds, hedges, flowering trees and shrubs that the area partners receive from us free of charge. The donations also finance our advisory services. Because simply throwing a few seeds on the field and then waiting for rain unfortunately doesn’t work. We look at which seeds are suitable for the respective area and provide the area partners with precise instructions on implementation and care. There are regionally adapted seeds for insects that are also adapted to specific wildflowers. The viper’s bugloss mason bee, for example, can only occur and reproduce where its food plant, the viper’s bugloss, also flowers. And at the right time. Therefore, a viper’s bugloss from southern Germany may not help the viper’s bugloss mason bees in the north because its flowering time differs too much from their activity period.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”20px” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”What types of plants do you sow there and why these in particular?” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1773299659731{padding-bottom: 8px !important;}”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]Sabrina:<\/strong> We work with around 10 different seed mixtures, which vary regionally in terms of their species composition and usually contain between 30 and 40 different species. We primarily work with native wild plants, which used to be much more common in our landscape than they are today. Examples of sown plant species are Yarrow(Achillea millefolium<\/em>), cornflower(Centaurea cyanus<\/em>),chicory (Cichorium intybus<\/em>), wild carrot(Daucus carota<\/em>), viper’s bugloss(Echium vulgare<\/em>), dost(Origanum vulgare<\/em>), meadow sage(Salvia pratensis<\/em>), tansy(Tanacetum vulgare<\/em>). Marguerite, various species of bellflower, grasses such as sheep’s fescue, crested wheatgrass or smooth oat.
\nWe have a specific composition of seeds of different plants for each region, because “somehow native” is not enough – it is also about genetics and adaptation. Plant populations differ regionally, for example in the time of sprouting, flowering, frost tolerance and drought resistance. In addition, plants and local insect populations are adapted to each other over long periods of time (co-evolution). If plants within a species are introduced from non-matching regions, this can endanger or “mix” the intra-species (genetic) diversity. Protection is easiest to achieve if autochthonous (local) plant material is used (from the same region or nearby natural habitat).
\nTherefore, be careful when buying seeds, as many commercial seeds from cultivated forms or foreign species may be visually attractive, but only help a few insects – partly because many native insects have adapted to native wild plants, and specialists even require certain groups or species.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”20px” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Which animals benefit most from a square meter of species-rich flowering area?” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1773299838818{padding-bottom: 8px !important;}”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]Sabrina:<\/strong> This question cannot be answered in terms of square meters, because it is easy to imagine that a square meter of flower meadow can accommodate the plant species inventory of a flower meadow, but cannot take on the overall ecological function. The size of the meadow plays a decisive role in this. The same applies to flowering areas in the field. A square meter is pretty to look at, but only as a strip at least 10 meters wide and as long as possible does the flowering area develop real ecological functions such as habitat, food supply, hibernation area, migration corridor.
