What an amazing post. This is exactly the post I needed to read. I was at a podium discussion at the local uni here last year and they were talking about almost 70% of all pollinating insects going extinct since the 80s in Germany alone and debating about the causes. Switzerland also had subsidies for farmers on pesticides and use almost double the amount per hectare than Germany. Pharmaceutical companies must be happy to fill their pockets from tax payers money here. No one really addresses the Colony Collapse Disorder of honeybees caused by mobile radiation. Magnetic forces affect us all and I am really happy someone is at least pointing out a way to create a habitat for beneficial insects. I got some lavender which I will plant in the coming days. Temperatures just dropped drastically, so I will plant them on the last day of rain in wet soil. So exited to take pictures of pollinators soon. Thank you for your great post!

awesome! glad to hear you're already busy planting :) lavender is such a great choice. yes, so many are still in the dark about this and our governments owned by the corporations aren't helping or making any big moves. i read a study yesterday as well that said that even in neighborhoods, if everyone planted a little patch for the pollinators, it would add up in a significant way.
