pruning<\/a> of shrubs and hedges<\/strong>, which often removes a large part of their flowering, as well as repeated summer mowing of the lawn, which deprives pollinators of important food sources.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\nCreate water points for bees<\/h3>\n\n
Bees and other pollinating insects also need water to quench their thirst and regulate their temperature. You can help them by setting up water points in your garden:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n- Place a few bowls or saucers filled with water in the shade of the plants<\/strong>, with some pebbles or sticks to provide easy access for bees without the risk of drowning.<\/li>\n\n
- Remember to frequently change stagnant water<\/strong> to prevent the development of mosquito larvae or diseases.<\/li>\n\n
- If you have a pond or a pool<\/strong>, make sure to install aquatic plants and shallow areas to allow animals to drink safely.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Setting up refuges for bees and pollinators<\/h2>\n\n
Finally, do not hesitate to set up spaces dedicated to the breeding and rest of bees and other useful insects:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n- Insect Shelters<\/strong>: make or buy specific “hotels” (hollow stems, drilled logs…) to accommodate different species of solitary pollinators, such as osmies or chalcidoids.<\/li>\n\n
- Beehives and artificial habitats<\/strong>: if you are interested in beekeeping, consider installing one or more beehives in your garden to house colonies of domestic bees. However, make sure to choose those suitable for the local climate and comply with the current regulations (distance, number…).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n
