Creative Wood Insect House and Native Bee Hotel

Creative Wood Insect House and Native Bee Hotel

Given that we have destroyed a lot of the natural habitat that insects enjoy, providing them with an insect hotel welcomes our insect friends to make themselves at home, and live on. 

Specifically, these hotels are perfect for the native stingless bees and wasps, ladybugs, butterflies and moths who are solitary by nature, and who use these spaces to hatch their young. So these little hotels aren't just a good deed. Your pollinating friends will reward you by increased presence of flowering plants and food crops.

A prime spot for this hotel is a sheltered spot out of strong sun and rain.

Insect houses measure 36cm high and 24cm wide.

GIVE YOUR HOUSE A MAKE-OVER

You can also use your hotel as an opportunity to create a beautiful artistic centerpiece for your garden. Using shiny pieces of glass or coloured pieces of plastic which might otherwise end up in landfill, you can turn your clump of nature into a work of art.
