Wooden Insect, Bug & Bee Hotel (Small)
Gives your garden insects a safe hideaway.
This ready-made bug hotel (also known as a wildlife hotel or stack) will provide a safe place for hibernating solitary bees and wasps. Lacewings and ladybirds will also benefit from a warm sheltered place to hide throughout the winter. Which are very important for keeping the numbers of aphids down in your garden.
Where to place the bug hotel.
Try to place the hotel in a sheltered area, away from very wet areas.
Insects will benefit from living somewhere slightly damp where a bit of mould can grow.
You can either hang from a screw/nail or stand the tower on a flat sturdy surface away from strong winds.
Bamboo tubes make a perfect place for Solitary bees to the hollow inside and make a nest. Female Bees fill the cane with pollen, they will then lay an egg onto it and seals the entrance with mud. A Bee will occupy one of these tubes for up to 9 months, from an egg then to larvae and finally to a bee when it will leave the tube.
