Five ways to build and populate them
Building a bee and bug-friendly garden begins with the choice of plants that will attract, feed and provide a habitat for these essential pollinators.









- Buy plants that have the bee sign that says RHS plants for pollinators.
- build or buy a bug hotel (see images, above)
- make a wood pile on the edge of the site
- create a leaf pile in a corner, it may make a home for a hedge hog
- leave some bare soil in a corner, it is needed for insects to build their homes
