Abstract

Pollinators are declining globally due to habitat loss and the consequent reduction in nesting sites. Among pollinators, bees and wasps are among the most important agents; however, public knowledge about these groups is limited, with over 85% of bee and wasp species being solitary and not forming colonies. The objective of this work is to present the proposal and results of the extension project "Pollinator Hotels: Making Urban Areas Friendly for Bees and Wasps," which aimed to create a more pollinator-friendly urban environment by installing 'Pollinator Hotels' that provide shelter for bees and wasps within the urban landscape of Rondonópolis. The hotels were crafted and distributed in green areas and public schools to promote species conservation and to raise awareness about the importance of pollinators, combined with environmental education.
