ZinCo Extensive Green Roof BEE Pasture

ZinCo GmbH

Description

Green roof system "bee pasture" – so that the bees do not run out of nectar and pollen

As a result of climate change, decreasing plant diversity due to monocultures and the use of plant toxins, there has been a sharp decline in wild bees and honey bees. This will have fatal consequences for pollination and thus for food production.

With the "Bee Pasture" system structure, Zinco wants to make an effective contribution to supporting the bee colonies. In this plant mixture, which is specially tailored to the needs of the bees, special attention was paid to a long-lasting nectar and pollen supply. The plants offer an ever-blooming "approach area" from April to September. The planting level will be realised with flat bale perennials in accordance with the ZinCo "Bee Pasture" plant list.

To maintain nectar and pollen production, additional irrigation is necessary during dry periods. The system structure can also be equipped with automatic irrigation analogous to the system structure "irrigated extensive greening".  With irrigation, the substrate height can be reduced to 8 cm, which results in a weight saving of approx. 25 kg/m².

Extensive green roof – the easy-care green roof variant to the gravel surface

Extensive green roofs are an ecological alternative to conventional surface protection, such as gravel. They are lightweight and have a low installation height. For extensive green roofs, we use proven plant communities that naturally cope with the site conditions found on roofs, such as sun, wind, drought, etc. An extensive green roof requires little maintenance. One or two maintenance cycles per year are usually sufficient here. This type of green roof is also suitable for sloping roofs.

Features

  • Moss-Sedum to grass-herb greening
    • Low
  • maintenance No
  • additional irrigation required Construction
  • thickness 10–20 cm
  • Weight 60–250 kg/m²

Extensive greening is carried out and operated at a relatively low cost. For example, the layer height is approx. 5–15 cm and the low weight is 60–150 kg/m², which also enables subsequent greening of existing roof surfaces without any problems. Another advantage is the manageable maintenance effort, because the plant communities of sedum, grasses and herbs used get by with natural precipitation. In addition to flat roofs, extensive greening is also suitable for pitched roofs.
