A positive example of the principle of “natural biomethod” implementation in plant protection can be the creation of artificial shelters designed to attract beneficial insects for wintering and for reproduction within agrocenoses (field breeding). The aim of our research was to develop a method for utilizing artificial shelters to attract representatives of Hymenoptera, as a way to assess and use the natural potential of entomophages and pollinators in an agrocenosis. Tests of the design of arti
