Round insect hotel Ø 25 cm – a natural home for helpful garden insectsGive bees, ladybirds and butterflies a safe spot in your garden with this stylish round insect hotel. Made from natural materials, this compact hotel (Ø 25 cm) provides a resting and overwintering place for all kinds of beneficial insects. It’s not just practical – it also makes a charming feature on a wall, fence or tree.
Why place an insect hotel in your garden?
- Natural help in the garden – Solitary bees and ladybirds support pollination and help control aphids, all completely naturally.
- Educational and fun for kids – Discover more about insects, their behaviour and their role in the natural world.
- Support biodiversity – Give nature a boost by offering insects a safe place to live in more built-up areas.
Three tips to get the best results:
- Pick the right spot – Hang the hotel in a sunny, sheltered location (ideally south-facing), protected from wind and rain.
- Don’t tidy it away too soon – Leave the hotel in place through autumn and winter, as many insects use it for hibernation.
- Avoid pesticides – Don’t use chemical products nearby, as they can harm the insects.
Whether you're new to gardening or a seasoned nature enthusiast, this insect hotel is an easy way to support wildlife and make your garden a little greener.
