Can pest traps help detect #pollinators? 🐝
Floral scent traps (usually for pests) in the Pannonian Lowland were tested: 27,539 insects (123 species) across 7 sites were recorded. On average, 90% were potential pollinators; orchards supported more #insects than arable lands ⤵️ doi.org/10.3897/BDJ....
