Take care of the insects that tend the flowers!
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!
