Overview
Project by: Systems Garden (Melbourne University)
With bee populations in decline across Australia and world, insect hotels are an effective way to provide the ideal habitat to encourage population growth. Having more native bees and insects around increases the opportunities for local plants to be pollinated.
With its attractive design, the hotel draws attention to the role insects and bees play in pollinating native plant species, educating visitors about our diverse native insect population. Being so crucial to the growth of any garden or green space, they are an intrinsic part of on-campus biodiversity.
