Urgent
action is required to support bee communities in their vital role as
plant pollinators in the US. This article reviews the growing
evidence that the best way to do this is by creating rich floral
diversity within and around crop fields. This means reducing
pesticide use, tolerating some weed species, maintaining
uncultivated patches of land, restoring hedgerows, and managing
non-crop areas to support pollinators. It advocates further research
on the best ways to do this without reducing overall crop yields.
