Turning Bikes into Mobile Insect Hotels

In many gardens, bug hotels act as miniature sanctuaries for insects. The Natural History Museum notes that creating a safe space for bugs using recycled materials helps attract a variety of species that play essential roles such as pollinating plants and eating pests. Similarly, an eco-crafting blog points out that building a bug hotel from items you already have at home encourages biodiversity, attracting beneficial insects that feed on garden pests and pollinate flowers. These static hotels are usually placed in gardens or allotments, but what if you could take one with you?
