Hedges and edges

Managing hedges and edges for bumblebees – Bumblebee Conservation Trust

Edge habitats such as hedges, ditches and banks can be a haven for bumblebees. They are particularly important in providing forage plants at the start and end of the bumblebee nesting season, when flower-rich grassland areas are being grazed or have been cut.
