Knowing which are the helpful ones, ensures gardeners give them a home. Some of these beneficial insects help by eating the pests that damage plants and crops. Others perform the vital task of breaking down decaying material. Also, pollinating insects help ensure colourful flowers keep blooming year after year and that you have a bountiful harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt’s always best to provide beneficial insects, bugs and beetles with water, food and shelter. Your garden will become an inviting home for them. Many of these beneficial insects will need alternative food sources such as pollen and nectar. As they often appear in the garden before the pests, they need something to eat whilst they wait. Attracting a wide range of insects and getting them to stay in your garden can be achieved by offering a diversity of early blooming plants and the addition of a beneficial insect home or habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChildren love bugs and mini beasts, and their happy investigation is to be encouraged.

In the U.K just under 250 of the 270 species of bee are solitary bees. As the name suggests, they tend not to live in colonies. Instead, they lay their larvae in tubes, tunnels or nesting chambers. Sealing them in with enough food to last until they are ready to emerge through the seal of mud and chewed leaves as adult pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNatural habitats, for solitary bees to build nests, become harder to find in modern gardens. The addition of a solitary bee house or hotel can attract bees to your garden to nest and return year after year. The ideal site to place your solitary bee house is well above the ground in a warm, south-facing position, ideally, near plenty of nectar-rich flowers, plants and tree. To attract solitary bees into your garden, you should include flowering plants to provide nectar and pollen. Our selected range of native wildflower species is ideal for pollinating bees in our Plants for Wildlife category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWildlife World has been studying the solitary bee for 15 years.
