Insect Houses

 

Insect houses in retail park in Scotland


I was shopping at a Retail Park and saw these insect hotels or insect houses. I thought it was a nice thing, to encourage insects. A Retail Park is a place with many shops in the same area outdoors.

  9. What a great idea. A modern environment can still be a place of refuge for those insects that need it.

  14. Hello Ananka,
    That's good to buy this insect hotel.

    And in winter I have lay it in my barn and there were many insects in it for a long sleep.

    Many greetings,
    Marco

  20. That's great! I want one of those in our garden. I have seen them in the botanical gardens we've visited. Anything to help our hard-working pollinators.
