team of scientists from around the world has analyzed a massive dataset of more than 178,000 individual insect pollinators from 19 countries to determine the minimum natural habitat on agricultural land that will allow insect pollinators to thrive.

Q&A: Insect pollinators need more higher-quality habitats to help farmers
Bees and butterflies help produce our food by pollinating the crops farmers grow. In fact, 35% of the world's food crops, including fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, depend on pollinators.
