Buying an insect hotel?

Insect hotels come in different sizes, shapes and feature a number of materials. If you want to buy an insect hotel, pay attention to the following:

Size:

How much space do you have available? There are different sizes for sale. From a small one that you can hang in a corner somewhere, to large ones that can serve as an eye-catcher or even the centrepiece of your garden.

Materials:

Make sure the insect hotel you buy is made of durable materials, such as wood or bamboo. This will ensure that the hotel will last a long time and be weather resistant.

Different compartments:

Most insect hotels have different compartments for bees, butterflies and beetles, for instance.

Placement:

Place the insect hotel in a suitable spot in your garden. This could be in a sheltered, sunny spot, for example, or near flowers and plants that attract insects.

Maintenance:

Most models require little maintenance, but the somewhat larger ones often need regular cleaning

Price:

Insect hotels come in different price ranges. Make sure you buy a hotel that meets your expectations but also fits within your budget.

Buying an insect hotel is a good and fun way to contribute to the preservation of insects in your garden and surroundings, and it is a nice decorative element at the same time. We wish you lots of anticipation!
