Beyond the Bee Hotel:

Tubes, Stacks and Microhabitats

A Masterclass with Dr Linda Birkin

Join entomologist Dr Linda Birkin for an engaging online masterclass where you’ll discover how to add habitat complexity to your garden to support invertebrates and boost biodiversity.

What you’ll learn

In this entertaining online talk, Dr Linda will guide you through practical ways to add habitat complexity to your garden. You’ll learn how to:

● Understand the ecological roles invertebrates play and why habitat complexity matters
● Add microhabitats and structural features that support a wide range of species

● How to create bee hotels, bug hotels, hoverfly lagoons and earwig shelters (and how to avoid common mistakes)
● Incorporate deadwood, litter and other natural materials to build mini-ecosystems
● Adapt ideas like dead hedges, twig obelisks and stumperies to suit your space

By the end of the session, you’ll be inspired and equipped to create a garden that supports invertebrates as well as all the other creatures that rely on them.

Meet your host, Dr Linda

A professional insect-enthusiast and science communicator, Linda is particularly interested in urban biodiversity and wildlife gardening – especially those parts of it all that creep, crawl, buzz and scuttle! She specializes in citizen / community science, both because of how important these projects are to ecology as a whole, and the empowering nature of on-the-ground investigation and curiosity. Her work aims to bring understanding and interest about invertebrates to the widest audience possible, through talks, workshops and outdoor entomological activities for all ages.

Basically, Linda wants to talk to you about bugs.

All of you. Anyone and everyone. About all the bugs.
