Bees, Bumblebess, Wasps ...

… are indispensable pollinator of the most flowering plants. They loss more and more biosphere within humans surroundings and decrease dramatically. Meanwhile more than half of our approximately 550 native species of Bees are already threatened. The barely nesting opportunities within our areas of settlement (as well as within the free landscape) can be improved by nesting aids.
Wild bees for example are solitary living insects, they form no State. They do not prick and can be easily observed. Same applies also to the solitaire living Wasps species. These are very useful within the scope of pest control. To enlighten about this is the purpose of the new series of leaflets from NAOM e.V. about bees, bumblebees and wasps … (Hymenoptera)

There is often a lack of nesting aids within deadwood or abandoned sand pits for solitary living hymenopterous insects. Bundled, hollow reed-, straw- or elder stalks can be offered as breeding tubes. Also wood pieces where different thick and long holes are drilled (see figure), are settled by these insects and serve as a breeding aids. Such nesting aids as well as artificially created deadwood islands are included in all NAOM biotope maintenance activities in the project plans.
