Pop-up hotels have sprung up at Jurong Lake Gardens, but there is a catch, they are for bees only.
For three-days, two-nights, several bee hotels have been setup at the Community Garden Festival’s Outdoor Display. Found at the “Present Singapore” section of the themed display, the bee hotels are a way to attract solitary bees like carpenter and leafcutter bees. They reflect the move towards a biophilic City in a Garden, where people and nature co-exist closely together.
While bees often get a bad rep, perhaps because of cartoon images of a swarm of bees flying an arrow formation for a target, the flying insects do play an important in the eco-system by helping pollinate the flowers as they move about.

And, it’s not just set up for solitary bees either.
