Give nature a helping hand with this insect hotel from Lifetime Garden. With such a hotel, you welcome insects that are finding it increasingly difficult to find suitable places to overwinter and lay their eggs. This benefits nature in general and your own garden in particular. The insects help you control aphids and certain caterpillars, among other things. They also improve the pollination of your flowers, fruit trees, and/or vegetable garden, so you can enjoy a larger harvest and a more abundant display of blossoms. Finally, it's also educational, especially for children, to observe the activity around such an insect hotel.
This one from Lifetime Garden is an XXL version, standing approximately 160 cm tall. The insect hotel sits on a long pole with a slightly overhanging, pointed roof that protects against heavy rain. With multiple compartments, the hotel offers space for many different types of insects. At the very top, you'll find numerous holes in stems and wood, which solitary bees, for example, like to use. Do you see any "blocked" tubes? Then your insect hotel is occupied. Below these holes is a special vertical notch for butterflies. The horizontal notches, on the other hand, attract ladybugs and lacewings. In the lower section, behind the mesh, are three compartments containing, among other things, a pine cone, wooden blocks, and wood shavings for earwigs and ladybugs. In short: plenty of nesting and hiding places for all kinds of insects. The best location for an insect hotel is sunny and south-facing.
