Bee Boosters?

The UK (not an especially sunny place) already has 14,000 hectares of solar parks. Solar parks are ground-based arrays of solar panels that generate 'green' electricity. A Lancaster University study suggests such parks can be easily managed to increase bumblebee numbers. These insects would boost pollination 'services' for farming in surrounding areas (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/dec/13/solar-parks-could-be-used-to-boost-bumblebee-numbers-study-suggests). All that has to happen, is for the custodians of the solar parks to plant wild flowers around their arrays. This can produce a 4-fold increase in bumblebee numbers. These insects will range up to 1 km from the solar parks. The bees will carry out necessary fertilisation of fruit trees in orchards etc. This seems a good idea but managers of solar parks may have to be given inducements to plant the wildflowers. Solar parks currently tend to be rather sterile places with little vegetation.
