"Most authorities seem to have stopped spraying verges, with the result this year that the roads are verged by the best outbreak of wildflowers in profusion, and a result improve bee numbers, and help the whole chain of species. Wildlife experts, beekeepers, and fruit farms are all reporting positive results, but it does not mean that we relax invigilating." Anthony Murphy, UK, by email 24th June 2015.

Eco Hvar: We're delighted to hear that! Let's hope this is an example followed by more and more authorities.
