CONT

Beneficial insects support biodiversity, the foundation for the world's ecological balance. An insect hotel in your garden will attract these beneficial insects, offering them a space where they can propagate and hunker down for the winter. Encouraging biodiversity in the garden helps to increase ecosystem productivity.

CONT

Un hôtel à insectes pour son jardin. [...] L'objectif de ces hôtels est d'offrir, surtout en milieu urbain, des abris pour les insectes pollinisateurs indigènes comme les abeilles. La mortalité de ces pollinisateurs est en hausse, notamment à cause de l'usage des pesticides de la famille des néonicotinoïdes. Ces insectes n'ont aussi généralement que très peu d'endroits en ville où ils peuvent se reproduire.
