We'll have advice on the best plants to attract bumblebees and other pollinating insects, information on making a home for solitary bees, and top tips for things you can do to make your garden bug-friendly!


Guides to garden bugs

Fold out guides are a great way to identify the bugs in your garden. We have low-cost guides on bees, ladybirds, pond bugs and more!


Conserving the small things that run the world

Find out about Buglife's conservation work - living roofs for bugs, the White-clawed crayfish, Scotland's rare bugs, rare flies found on river shores, and Buglife's fight to save West Thurrock Marshes.
