Pollinator Hotel

9/3/2015

Students at Quest University Canada are building a pollinator hotel! Pollinator hotels provide a safe, protected space for bees and other pollinators to lay their eggs. This pollinator hotel will provide much needed habitat for pollinators whose habitats are being destroyed for logging, housing projects and agriculture. It is very important to help pollinators survive the winter so that in the spring they can pollinate local wild and food plants.

Come out to Quest University Canada Friday March 20th from 11am to 2pm and help complete the pollinator hotel! We will build the frame and you can help finish the project by adding specific materials for the pollinators to nest in. You can also help by bringing materials to the event such as: wood, logs, bark, reeds, bamboo, bricks, small pipe, pinecones, rope, and dead moss. Check out the pollinator hotels below for some ideas!

We will be posting reminders and updates on this page so check back often.
Hope to see you soon!

Michalina, Max, and Barrett are students working on building a pollinator hotel on the Quest University Canada campus! Stay tuned for a community event, pollinator facts, and much much more!!

This blog was started by Michalina. She loves everything about bees. She is currently working on a research project in Greater Vancouver investigating pollination from native bees in blueberry fields. She's working on her undergrad from Quest University in Squamish. When she's not beeking out, you can find her fermenting something in the kitchen.
