The restoration works of small (1-3 ha) forest meadows along a small river have been started. Are there any studies on the distance from which insects fly to forest meadows to feed or reproduce? Does the size of these meadows matter?
I am not an entomologist; I have only some insight into bee-keepers´ life and work. A mobile apiary placed on different sites around meadows and fields reveals by the resultant sort of honey produced during a certain season that your size in terms of hectares is fully within the flying range of the flower-oriented insects.
I hope I come close to an answer to your question (?)

It's a very good question. Forest making or re-establishment is a good science both in terms of biodiversity conservation and society benefits... invertebrates always the key for soil manuring
Meadows protects the lotic systems as they ensure that the predator prey relationship in maintained in aquatic ecosystems.
