An insect hotel groups together several shelters with different materials inside that are specific to the installation of each insect.
It is a device that facilitates the winter survival of insects in ecosystems where pollination and biodiversity are sought, as in our vegetable garden.
Housing insects, yes, but not just any insects: the objective is first and foremost for gardeners to promote auxiliary insect species, which are precious allies in the fight against plant pests.
Beneficial insect populations are not artificially introduced, but are attracted to your garden and encouraged to stay there to feed on pests or ensure pollination.
Rather than using products to process our vegetables, we use a natural method!
The other advantage is that it helps to promote local biodiversity and restore the balance of the food chain.
The educational interest is also not insignificant: this is a very nice way to awaken children and make them aware of the richness of wildlife !
