Pollinating insects attracted to common weeds
A study by the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme found that common ivy’s autumn blooms are the most visited by pollinating insects, including bees and butterflies. The survey, based on eight years of citizen science data, also highlighted the high attraction of non-native buddleia and other plants, with ivy being recommended for supporting pollinators. While hoverfly populations declined over that period, some bee species and flies showed increases, suggesting varying trends among pollinator groups.
