Pollinator Homes

Cool Places for Bugs to Live and Make Families!

• Bugs need a house, too! You can make their space better by planting a bunch of different flowers that give them food from spring all the way to fall. It's like having a snack bar that's always open! 

• Give them water! They need to drink just like we do. A little puddle with some rocks in it is a perfect watering hole for them, or even better a Purple House Honey Hydration Station!

• Make sure they have a bed! They need a place to sleep and have their babies. You can leave some dead wood, sticks, or just a little bit of a messy spot in your garden for them or a Purple House Honey Pollinator Home! It's their own Air BnB! 

• Don't forget the sun! Pollinators love to hang out in sunny spots, so try to put your Purple House Honey Pollinator Home bug habitat in a place that gets a lot of sun.
