During International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) in 2018 several Embassies joined the initiative to support pollinators by planting urban wildflowers in Diplomatstaden in Stockholm (see below).
Since then, the Diplomatic community has played a central role in raising the profile of the project Stockholm Loves Pollinators* among key stakeholder groups in the city.
In addition to placing a beehive in the grounds of the English Church, the American, British, Dutch, German, Hungarian, Israeli, Japanese and Norwegian Embassies have supported the project by reviewing the properties they manage to explore how they can make them more pollinator-friendly.<\/p>\n
The area of Kruthusplan in the Diplomatstaden is a landing place for pollinators and an important transport corridor between the area of G\u00e4rdet and Nobelparken and onwards to the island of Djurg\u00e5rden.<\/p>\n
The photos below show before the planting of the wildflowers and how it gradually has developed to a meadow.<\/p>\n

Several eco-friendly activities, i.e. workshops and seminars, are planned for 2019 with the aim to continue the work in making the city pollinator-friendly.<\/p>\n
