Mirja Neff
Mehr als Wohnen — das Nahrungsangebot zur Nisthilfe schaffen
Mirja Neff is a BUND wild bee ambassador, a natural garden planner trained by the natural garden specialist Ahornblatt Garten, a nature photographer, a garden guide in Rheinhessen and the garden owner of a 600 m² natural garden with over 70 wild bee species in it. She has created two outstanding websites. Wildbienengarten.de provides information on gardening for wild bees — with plant combinations for replanting and lots of background information. The Planting suggestions and flowering calendar as a PDF for every bed size and every location help to plant wildflowers in beautiful, functioning communities in the garden and on the balcony. This also encourages specialized wild bees and butterflies, which depend on many of the plants shown there and in the presentation for their survival.
Content of the picture presentation:
Welche Insekten lassen sich mit Nisthilfen auf den Balkon locken und auf welche Pflanzen fliegen sie? Der bilderreiche Vortrag zeigt mehr als 18 Insekten-Pflanzen-Beziehungen im Porträt und gibt Tipps zur praktischen Umsetzung.

Mirja writes: “Almost half of the wild bee species in Germany are threatened with extinction. And not only them: at least 1 million animal species could become extinct in the next few decades. Did you know that we humans are causing the biggest extinction since the dinosaurs?
