Pollination is important in the way of life of most plants. Essential to create a seed that builds the future of each species and variety. Pollination is a journey from the Pollen AleƱo de la Flor to the Female. This travel can be done on the body, head, or legs of an insect, but it can also be carried by the wind.
Pollination is essential in the cultivation of the plant to which we want to harvest the fruit or the seed. Notice the importance of beekeeping in our plantations; beehives were essential for the apple to thrive. Because the bee carries the apple. The bee was not from the family, it was from the house!
Industrial or capitalist agriculture pages pollination, reduces insects and the future of many plants is in a critical situation. In addition to bees, many insects have a lot to say in the pollination of thousands and thousands of plants. The protection and promotion of these insects has been one of the most important causes and objectives of general environmental policies for many years.
Natural parks, protected spaces, etc. They have a relevant role in the survival of pollinators, but even more so in the spaces that are anthropized or transformed by people. The railways, for example.
There are about 200,000 kilometres of railway lines in the European Union. There are many flowering plants on their margins. This indicates that there are also pollinators. A study carried out in Croatia (Poland) has revealed that the structure of the railways (slopes, dry peaks, wet bars...) promotes the proliferation of these auxiliary insects. More have been found on the railroad than on the grasslands of the area: butterflies in places where native plants and bees predominate in places where plants are from the outside. These insects diminish on the edges of the pathways captured by the bushes. For natural agriculture and the environment, we take care of the railways. No herbicides, of course!
