There are lots of insects and other creatures such as bees that live or visit a typical garden. A great way to see and study the insects that are in your garden is to create a Bug House Hotel.
This doesnt have to be a large construction or fancy. It could be as simple as using an old bean tin with sticks and straw in it, placed in a flower bed or other part of your garden.
You should provide a variety of different types space sizes for insects to make their homes in.
You should always try and use natural materials in your Bug House Hotel such as:
- Pine Cones
- Sticks/Twigs
- Bamboo cane
- Wood with different sized holes drilled in it
- Straw/Hay
- Bark (not from a living tree
You could also use other materials to make bug houses such as old pallets or roof tiles.
Giving nature a home in your garden will attract other wildlife such as birds and hedgehogs.
