Farmers urged to take bee-friendly actions on their land
In Ireland, while it is "very biodiversity rich" Ms Wilson said, the decline must be tackled "as it is a huge problem", and "we depend so much on it".
Farmers are being urged to take bee-friendly actions on their land, as there is the "worrying" continual decline in pollinator numbers in Ireland.
Ruth Wilson of the National Biodiversity Data Centre told Friday's Teagasc Signpost webinar that "small actions" can make a big difference overall, and if everyone implements them across the landscape, "that's just so beneficial".
