It is a real treat for nature lovers and one of the most interesting and important initiatives in biodiversity conservation. A great location to stop and rest for a while!

Bug hotels are special structures that are placed in gardens, parks, forests and fields to provide shelter for bumblebees, bees and ladybirds. These insects play an important role in the ecosystem as they pollinate plants, which translates into larger and healthier crops. They also contribute to protecting biodiversity.

Most beneficial insect species are under threat due to intensive land use and treatments with pesticides and herbicides. Bug hotels give insects a chance to survive and ultimately contribute to a balanced ecosystem.

This is also linked to the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CRS). The insect hotels at Forum Koszalin are a great initiative to promote environmental awareness and an opportunity to make a short stop while riding and at the same time educate yourself. Such places help us learn a lot about the importance of beneficial insects and how to take care of our surroundings and do something good for the environment.

Did you know that different species of beneficial insects prefer different types of bug hotels? Bumblebees and bees are most likely to use reed tubes or holes in wood, while ladybirds tend to choose small holes in wooden stumps.
