On my mornings runs I have noticed more and more of these insect hotels popping up in France and in Switzerland.
If you are a gardener by hobby and a nature enthusiast by heart, chances are that you are already familiar with the concept of insect hotels. Offering a sanctuary to beneficial insects, especially pollinators, they are considered to be the urban solution to declining population of beneficial insects in human environments due to habitat loss, pollution and abuse of pesticides.
Looking at them closer, I could not resist noticing the difference between the Swiss and the French construction depicted via an insect hotel... and then you wonder why we keep on having water infiltrations in our Parisian flat?!?
Mind you, I ponder who's inhabitants are happier? The orderly, well-protected, insulated Swiss or the rather messy, disengaged, relentless French?
