1. Product description
Bees put their eggs into the wooden tubes and seal these afterwards,
until the new bees enclose and make their way out.
Bees are active by April and pollinate stone- and pomaceous fruits,
as well as strawberries. Ladybeetles and green lacewings feel com-
fortable in dense, as well as in loose nature materials. They control
the population of vine louses, also it is a great event, especially for
children to watch and observe the insects. Diurnal ladybeetles use
the shelter at night and to overwinter.
To attract butterflies to the shelter and indicate them the dry place
to sleep, you should put some branches of stinging nettle or lavender
into it.
2. Putting into operation
In spring or summer, hang up the insect hotel nature into a rain
sheltered but dry place in your garden or your patio, preferably near
trees or flowers. Little by little, various bees, wasps, ladybeetles,
butterflies, green lacewings and more insects, will settle down in
the shelter. Food they will find in the surrounding area.
Several insects are very useful in our garden, for example to control
the population of vine louses and to pollinate bloom. The insects
best and overwinter in the shelter, especially for children it is a great
event watching and observing them.
Please note:
1. Hang up the shelter in a wind- and rain sheltered, but sunny
place.
2. The front of the house should point ideally in southern direction
3. Please leave the house in its place in winter also, as butterflies
and caterpillars nest and overwinter in it.
4. Please do NOT paint or varnish the house, otherwise insects will
not nest in there
