Solitary bees make up over 90% of all bee species in the world, and they are under threat.
Globally, bee abundance and diversity is diminishing. Scientists agree that habitat loss is the primary threat.
Tutus Loco contributes to the conservation of these critical and under-recognised pollinators through manufacturing bee hotels that mimic their natural breeding sites, therefore offering them a refuge in the urban environment.
"In the end, experts agree that insects can survive without humanity, but humanity likely can’t survive without insects. They tend every square inch of living soil; they aerate and fertilize; they break down waste and organic debris. They also sit at the base of the food chain, feeding millions of animals and, by extension, us." Mongabay

DO YOUR BIT FOR THE PLANET
Proudly contribute to conserving our biodiversity, with over 1200 species of solitary bees in South Africa, by providing them with a safe place to live and breed.
APPRECIATE AND LEARN
Watching the daily happenings of your bee hotel will encourage you and your family to appreciate and learn about the small, and very critical, wonders of the world.
