Description
Insect hotels come in many shapes and sizes. Placing an insect hotel can have a very positive impact on the ecosystem in your environment. It gives a boost to insect life in your garden, which attracts more birds and causes many crops, including fruit and vegetables, to be well pollinated. But wild flora is also well pollinated in this way.
INSTALLATION
An insect hotel is best placed so that the entrances face southeast or south, in the full sun. A southwesterly orientation should be avoided to prevent rain from entering. Furthermore, a sheltered location is preferred, so if possible, protect it from strong winds.
It is essential that the box is placed near, preferably native, flowering plants, we call these nectar plants, plants that can provide nectar and pollen as food. Finally, it's also good to have water nearby.
