SUPRA-HABITAT FLOWERING STRIP
Flower strips play an important role in our often intensively cultivated agricultural landscape.
For numerous animal species, they are a source of food, a retreat and place to hibernate or a place to raise their offspring. Wild bees, which play a special role as pollinators of wild and cultivated plants, need the rich supply of flowers and nesting opportunities in these areas to survive. But flower strips also serve as a habitat for other insects such as butterflies, grasshoppers or spiders and, of course, a wide variety of beneficial insects such as ladybirds or hoverflies. They in turn are food for birds or reptiles, which also like to stay in these areas. T he game also finds food and retreat in flowering areas. Flower strips are also important elements of networking in the landscape and thus promote migration and spread and thus the genetic mixing of animal and plant species.
