		<description><![CDATA[The ongoing decline in wild bumblebee populations has caused worldwide concern, with evidence suggesting that the loss of critical pollination services could lead to a decrease in crop yields and the loss of many wildflower species.

The project led by Professor Jane Memmott, from the University of Bristol, will be conducted in twelve cities across Britain to determine how well pollinators such as bees and butterflies are doing &#8230; <a href="http://www.britishecologicalsociety.org/blog/2011/08/02/urban-areas-could-be-key-to-boosting-pollinator-numbers/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

The findings of the paper show that farmland corridors intended to help &#8230; <a href="http://www.britishecologicalsociety.org/blog/2011/08/01/2132/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
