Middle School Science Classes Help Environment with Insect Hotels

Ms. Holl’s Middle School science classes made insect hotels for extra credit.

“Offering a sanctuary to beneficial insects, especially pollinators, insect hotels are considered to be the urban solution to declining population of beneficial insects in human environments due to habitat loss, pollution and abuse of pesticides. Insects provide many benefits to the ecosystem through pollination, nutrient cycle, and also as food source for birds.” (Entomologist Lounge)

Students learned about the correct ways to build and maintain insect houses and then put that knowledge into practical use by creating their own unique sanctuaries to help the environment.
View all of the insect houses on Vidigami or Facebook.
