Pollination by natural pollinators is important for many agricultural and wild plants. Our study aimed to determine the food supply for solitary bees at selected localities during the vegetation period. The inventory of plant species and the cover of flowering herbs and solitary bee populations were carried out in orchards and agricultural landscapes during the growing season in 2018–2022. Higher cover of flowering herbs were found in the flower strips in orchards and arable land. All surveyed alleys, balks, and flowering strips appeared to be important food sources for pollinators.

Keywords: solitary bees, plants, flower strips, landscape heterogenity
