The Birds and the Bees
The Moorland Association and the British Beekeepers Association (BBA) are calling on moorland managers to set up more beehives, which not only benefit honeybees by providing them with heather flowers, but also help the heather set to seed, creating a stronger plant. BBAs Martin Smith said: Bees improve the set of the heather seed by pollinating it rather than leaving it to the wind.
