Thesis title: Optimizing flower plantings to increase wild bee diversity and pollination efficiency in agricultural landscapes

My PhD project is divided in two parts: (a) getting a deeper understanding of the bee-plant-interactions on the BienABest wildflower plantings and (b) estimating the effect of bee communities on seed production of several wildflowers.

The project is funded by a scholarship of the German Environmental Foundation (Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt, https://www.dbu.de/).
