The students were delighted to receive replies on behalf of both royals, thanking them for their efforts to help conserve local bugs, bees and beetles.<\/p>\n<p>The impressive building is part of the native species habitat in Reaseheath\u2019s mini zoo and sits alongside a wildlife pond, natural grassland and wild flower area. It is already attracting a wide range of insects such as woodlice and solitary bees looking for a safe home for hibernation over winter.<\/p>\n<p>The students are keen to measure the success of their project and are looking forward to surveying and counting the residents as they emerge next spring.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Sutcliffe, Instructor in Lower Vertebrates and Invertebrates, who led the project, said: \u201cThis was a fun project but with a very serious message. British insects are in decline mainly due to habitat loss and climate change and it\u2019s important that our students understand the issues and what they can do to help reverse the situation.\u00a0 If everyone set aside one small area where insects can safely eat and sleep it would make a big difference, both to the invertebrates themselves and to the many species of native wildlife which rely on them for food.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rhe Foster, a Level 3 Advanced Technical Extended Diploma in Animal Management student, said: \u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot from this project, particularly about the decline of insects and how important it is to help grow the population. I\u2019ve realised how serious the situation is becoming and it\u2019s been good to do something to rectify it. It\u2019s also very interesting and something I didn\u2019t have much knowledge of before coming to Reaseheath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reaseheath\u2019s mini zoo is open to the public at weekends and during school holidays.\u00a0 It will celebrate World Lemur Day on Saturday October 26 with a special programme of events.
