Make an insect hotel.

Build a multi-story refuge for beneficial insects using bamboo tubes, drilled wood blocks, and natural materials that provide winter shelter and nesting sites for native bees, ladybugs, and other garden helpers. Position your hotel in a sunny, protected spot near flowers and watch as different insects discover and occupy the various chambers throughout the seasons. It's like creating an apartment building for tiny tenants who'll repay you by controlling garden pests and pollinating plants.
