Gardens Crafts: Build a Bee Hotel

Join our Conservation Ranger, Sila, to build a home for bees, using upcycled materials.

Solitary bees are in trouble, facing the risk of extinction. But together, we can make a difference! By crafting bee hotels, we provide safe havens for these important pollinators, helping to protect our ecosystems. During this activity you will learn the skills to build a bee hotel and be able to support the bees in your own garden at home.

Please bring along some empty soft drink bottles to repurpose them into bee-friendly habitats.

During the session you'll also be joined by the Queen Bee-atrice, who is buzzing to welcome you to the session and share some fascinating pollinator facts!
