This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Animal Care.

In this Badge Bit you will make a hotel for beneficial insects.  


Minimum requirements:
  - it must facilitate at least three different critters
  - it must be designed to do a halfway decent job of protecting them from rain
  - natural materials and steel/wood fasteners (no glue, plywood, stain, paint)
  - must be at least one cubic foot in volume

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 mins):
  - hotel under construction
  - your finished insect hotel (does not need to be installed outdoors)
  - describe what critters you facilitate and how

 
What we've got here is a failure to communicate. The solution is in this tiny ad:
