Insects perform many tasks in our gardens. They pollinate plants, act as natural pest control and as such are an important part of ecological gardening. This insect hotel allows multiple species of insects to nestle and overwinter at the same time. The natural habitat of many species of insects is threatened due to changes in their environment and this is a way to help and protect them. The middle compartment offers protection and a home for common green lacewings, ladybirds and earwigs. The red colour of the door will attract common green lacewings in particular. Bees often hide in hollow sticks. Each bee requires a different size hole (or tube). The mason bee chooses a diameter between 3 and 7 mm (0.12/0.28”), while the common yellow faced bee prefer 2 to 4 mm (0.08/0.16”). Wild bees cover their tubes with loam. The holes in the wood can serve as a nest for many insects.
