[QUOTE="Fruitbat, post: 7685268, member: 5802"] I’d avoid pallets because as soon as they rot, you’ve got missing nails and puncture issues. Stick to fallen wood, brash and bare soil if there’s a sunny bank for ground nesting bees. Honey bees about 1 1/2 to 2 miles if they need to but most don’t, solitary, bumble and hover flies are more important. Beetles go about 50m into a crop and maybe 90, but that depends how big they are. There’s a research project on arable beetles, search for Kelly Jowett I think. Connectivity wise, if you can’t create a continuous habitat, try to make stepping stones of safe havens. Water & puddles are valuable habitats too.
