Description
Book: The Wild Bee Hotel
Wild bees – endearing aerial acrobats and important flower visitors – are in distress. Environmental toxins and monocultures threaten these fascinating solitary creatures; nesting sites and food plants are scarce.
A wild bee hotel provides these beneficial insects with shelter. Filled with twigs, wood, bricks, and clay, it can be placed in the garden, on a balcony, patio, or windowsill. Building and furnishing the hotel is straightforward; even children can easily craft these small nesting aids.
This book contains
• Construction plans with quantities and material lists,
• practical information on building materials,
• Instructions for the tool and
• Design variations
for filled bee hotels and individual nesting aids.
Plant lists present suitable bee pastures for various locations from spring to autumn. This book helps transform self-built nesting aids into small nature conservation oases. Fascinating profiles describe the lifestyles of individual species. And for those who want to observe and photograph the hotel's inhabitants, practical tips are provided. A book for gardeners of all ages, environmental projects, and youth groups.
