Gain an insight into the area of the live stream and discover the current vegetation level, which changes rapidly, especially in the first years after the installation of the area. If you are lucky, one or the other insect flies by in front of the camera while watching.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
At the bag manufacturer Halfar, INSECT RESPECT\u00ae started the insect-friendly redesign of the roof area in spring 2019: The two Bielefeld entrepreneurs Armin Halfar and Dr. Hans-Dietrich Reckhaus are now working together for insects.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
On the roof of the Halfar company, the jointly created insect-friendly habitat was completed as part of an employee planting campaign on May 18, 2019, during which the employees were able to take part in the planting and sowing of a species-rich biotope. „Our company’s \u2018leadership through sustainability\u2018 is also valid for the promotion of local biodiversity,“ says Armin Halfar, Managing Director with 120 employees. The surface now serves as a balancing surface for the INSECT RESPECT\u00ae quality mark.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The company provides 450 sqm to the insects. The six-legged friends find many ways to dig nesting caves or collect material for nests in areas with clay and sand. Structural elements such as reclaimed wood (e.g. logs) offer the insects space to hide and cellulose to build. Individual water points have room, especially after rains, so that insects and birds can drink and bathe. From the natural stone heaps, the rain washes micronutrients into the substrate, which the insects can absorb.<\/p>\n
