Anikó and her co-authors investigated the pollination of 12 Hungarian farms and found that pollination success of apple was significantly related to the species richness of wild bees, regardless the dominance of honey bees (Földesi et al. 2015), also they studied that agricultural intensification how reduce the bee diversity in winter cereal fields and they found that increasing the amount of fertilizer decreased wild bee abundance therefore the intensification of agriculture decreases diversity and reduces pollination success (Kovács-Hostyánszky et al. 2011). This was confirmed by Löscher et al. 2014 with co-authorship of Kovács-Hostyánszky, that avoidance of mineral nitrogen and pesticides beneficial for biodiversity (including wild bees) and species protection. They also studied the impact of the highly invasive Solidago canadensis on plant and pollinator communities in old fields with different ages (1-20 years since last ploughing) in Southern Transylvania, Romania. They found, that invasion of S. canadensis had negative effect on the abundance of bees irrespectively for the field age (Fenesi et al. 2015). They also investigated the bee species (together with other groups) and their role in environmental quality indication in rural farms (Kovács-Hostyánszky et al. 2013) and also the effect of oilseed rape mass flowering for the wild bee communities and the affection of pollination success of other wild plants around (Kovács-Hostyánszky et al. 2013).
