Thank you very much for the replies. This information is certainly going
to help the development of our project.

I have however one more question. I see that many of you wouldn't feel
motivated to garden bee-friendly because honey isn't that important.
What if instead you take part in a scheme where you collect points for
being bee-friendly and you get to spend them on plants and gardening
tools in gardening centers or could add them to your membership points
in a food chain as the Co-Operative.

I think you may be missing the point. Most gardeners are already "bee
friendly." What's a garden without bees? Dirt?

One of my favorite sights is early in the morning, finding bees asleep
on the flowers. I don't need added incentive to keep bees happy. I do
understand that humankind is as rough on bees as we are just about
everything else and it's not in the planets best interest to
irradicate species that help us but perhaps you're targetting the
wrong audience?
