Bees, butterflies & blooms โ Agri. Cultures Network. Our food security is under threat because without healthy populations of insect pollinators across the world, fruit production, including cocoa and coffee beans would be impossible. With the changes agriculture and landscape underwent to accommodate our food demands in the past century (increased food production, mechanization and invention of chemical fertilizers, and pesticides) 9.
These conditions have made it increasingly difficult for pollinators to survive. The lack of food and habitat, resulting in unhealthy pollinators make them more vulnerable to pesticides, pathogens and parasites. What does the future hold? Sarah Raven argues that we can do something about it. Over the course of a year she tried to get citizens and local councils, amongst others to plant pollen and nectar rich plants, of which 1 in 5 is in danger in the UK. The BBC Two team also worked with Duncan Farrington in Northamptonshire as part of a natural enhancement project and together discovered the benefits of planting wildflower margins around fields. Not only did the flowery margins benefit crop productivity, saved him money but this simple measure also helped supporting the pollinators by providing a useful habitat for insects and wildlife.

In the second programme of this three- part series, Sarah Raven takes her mission to halt the rapid decline in Britain's essential bees, butterflies and pollinating insects to our towns, and challenges the RHS Britain in Bloom competition to make their floral displays more nectar- and pollen- rich, to help to increase the amount of food and habitat for pollinating insects throughout the spring and summer months.

With the use of intensive farming methods, regionalisation of crops, and the loss of wildflower meadows and grasslands estimated at around 9. So Sarah finds out whether British gardens could become a network of mini nature reserves for the pollinating insects. Sarah starts her campaign by attempting to change the attitude of Harrogate's successful gold medal- winning Britain in Bloom group.
She challenges them to embrace nectar- and pollen- rich flowers over traditional bedding plants. Will the Bloom group take to her plans and ideas, or will the begonia bunch stand firm? Sarah also challenges the UK gardening industry, the Horticultural Trades Association and the Royal Horticultural Society to champion pollinating insects by launching a 'pollinator- friendly' logo at the Chelsea Flower Show. The logo and label would enable gardeners to identify the best plants for bees and butterflies throughout garden centres and nurseries in the UK.
And at home, Sarah meets expert garden naturalist Steve Head, and explores her own garden's suitability for insect pollinators. Inspired by what she discovers, she develops a nectar garden - a mini oasis for pollinators.
