Wild bees are among the most important pollinators, yet we still know surprisingly little about their diversity and abundance across different habitats. The project investigates which landscape elements, such as field and roadside margins, ditches, tree-lines, mid-field islets and field boundaries, support wild bee species in intensively used agricultural landscapes. The results will help provide a comprehensive overview of wild bee species in Estonian agricultural landscapes and offer science-based recommendations for landscape design and the enhancement of conservation measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project participants:<\/strong> Virve S\u00f5ber, Epp Valdaru, Tsipe Aavik, Sigrid Ots<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Funding:<\/strong> Keskkonnainvesteeringute Keskus<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project volume: <\/strong>165 260 euros<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Duration:<\/strong>\u202f01.01.2026\u201331.12.2027<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6c531013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kik.ee\/en\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"859\" height=\"117\" src=\"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kik_horisontaalne_varv_eng.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-892\" style=\"width:381px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":481,"template":"","class_list":["post-891","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
