Making a bug hotel for your garden or school is a very easy way of making a home for a wide variety of insects.
Follow these six easy steps to make your own...
 |
 |
 |
|
Firstly, take about 12 or so bits of bamboo (they need to be about the same length but it doesn't matter how wide they all are)
|
Make sure that you have the right amount to hold in between your hands.
|
Ask someone to hold the bamboo sticks for you. Wrap a length of garden twine around all of the bamboo about three or four times, making sure that you knot it each time. |
 |
 |
 |
|
You need to tie the bamboo at both ends.
|
Once you've finished tying the knots, carefully trim the ends of the twine with a pair of scissors (make sure you don't cut your fingers at the same time!) If it's a bit loose, you can push another piece of bamboo stick into the middle to tighten the knots.
|
Finish off by wrapping another piece of twine around the middle, so that you can hang your bug hotel up in the garden. Hopefully, within a couple of weeks, you'll be able to see all sorts of insects making their home inside and around it.
