“The idea is to create a route through the city with enough feeding stations for the bumblebees all the way,” Tonje Waaktaar Gamst of the Oslo Garden Society told local paper Osloby. ”Enough food will also help the bumblebees withstand manmade environmental stress better.”
Bumblebees and other pollinating insects struggle in urban environments where there are few flowers rich in nectar, effectively starving them.
