The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has published a short review of policy and evidence on Bees and other pollinators. This is a first step in developing a national pollinator strategy for England in 2014 - expert workshops are planned for September and October 2013.
The Welsh government has published an Action Plan for Pollinators and draft implementation plan, with actions focused on: policy, governance and sound evidence base; provision of diverse and flower-rich habitats; healthy pollinator populations; and better public awareness. A pollinator task force is planned.
