To try to mitigate the effect of environment loss to pollinators through monocultures, and the general concreting over of everything green, there is a countrywide effort to improve the situation. Cheap or free seed packets of mixed flowers that flower at different times to help bees, wild bees and butterflies, also a big book of flowering bushes trees and flowers, to help gardeners choose plants that will promote nature (free).
You see many more flowering roundabouts, roadside verges and motorway embankments too these days. Even strips of flowering plants in fields planted with other crops... There was some study that pointed out if all the unused ground were used in this way most of the meadow loss could be mitigated. Nice idea. I'll add links later...
