11 Plant pollinator mutualism In temperate regions 78 % of all angiosperms are insect pollinated (Ollerton et al. 2011) Pollinating insects improve the pollination for 150 (84 %) of the European crops and the value of pollinating insects is estimated to be 22 billion Euro a year in Europe (STEP 2012) Insect pollinated plants most at risk due to decline in pollinating insects (Aguilar et al. 2006) The biodiversity decline is larger for insect pollinated plant species than for other native plants (Carvell et al. 2006) 66 % of bee-pollinated plants have become more rare (Carvell et al. 2006) Bumblebees that have become rare are dependent on rare food plants (Kleijn & Raemakers 2008)
12 Increasing demand for food increasing agricultural production Robinson & Sutherland 2002 Tilman et al. 2011
13 Main threats Agricultural intensification Removal of natural and semi-natural habitats Larger fields, more dense crops Fertilization Pesticides
14 Agricultural intensification Results in a fragmented landscape with: longer distances between source habitats (food, nesting, hibernation) reduced quality of source habitats less food, periods without food decreased fitness
15 Conservation and management Rule of fire-fighters 1. Preserve and protect species and their habitats 2. Reduce harmful effects 3. Restore partly destroyed areas 4. Re-establish populations and habitats
16 Preserve and protect species and their habitats Information on species status (Red list) Mapping of species and their habitats (source habitats) Knowledge of limiting factors (food, nesting and hibernation habitats) Conservation and management
17 Semi-natural grasslands/hay fields Source habitats for pollinators 17
18 Floral resources and pollinators in wellestablished hayfields (EcoServe 2011) Young (2-3 years) hayfield 5-10 years hayfield Old (> 10 years) hayfield 18
19 Hayfields for analyses of floral resources and pollinators 18 hayfields were selected 3 areas with 3 hayfields of varying age all fields were visited four times during the period primo May- ultimo August 2011 (Bording, Funder, Harbovad) 1 area with 5 hayfields of varying age only visited once (Stavad Enge) 2 areas with 2 hayfields each of the same age and surrounded by forest, visited 3 times (Fussingø, Salten Skov)

24 Reduce harmful effects Habitat degradation Agricultural practice Use of pesticides, risk assessment of pesticides Use of fertilizers
