They incorporated items such as weeds, twigs, old tyres, stones, moss, bark, and other materials they believe will create a welcoming and safe habitat for a wide range of insects.

Their bug hotel is now located in a quiet corner of the farm park, where it will support local biodiversity by providing essential refuge for pollinators like bees, beetles, and other beneficial insects.
