First Pollinator Hotels Installed Across Serbia Nestlé’s ‘Together for Bees’ initiative has launched its second phase by installing wild pollinator hotels and conducting educational workshops at agricultural schools, starting in Futog. These specially designed wooden structures offer safe nesting sites for solitary, non-aggressive bees, which are crucial for pollinating fruits and many other foods. The program aims to educate future farmers on the importance of wild pollinators and how to monitor them, with installations planned for multiple schools across Serbia.
