🐝🏨🐝 NEW TO GERRY’S!!! 🐝🏨🐝
As you know, we’re big fans of the environment here in ! Which is one reason why we now have bug hotels for sale in store!
A bug hotel, also known as an insect hotel or insect house, is a specially designed structure made from natural materials such as wood, bamboo, pinecones and WoodStone.
These shelters provide safe spaces for beneficial insects like solitary bees, butterflies, ladybirds and other pollinators to nest, rest, or hibernate. Adding a bug hotel to your garden helps support biodiversity and promotes a healthier outdoor ecosystem.
Why should you add a bug hotel to your garden?
Insects play a vital role in keeping gardens thriving. Pollinators like bees and butterflies help plants and crops reproduce, while ladybirds and lacewings naturally control pests such as aphids.
Other species, such as beetles, contribute to composting and soil health. With natural habitats under threat from urban development and intensive farming, bug hotels offer much-needed refuge for these essential creatures. Even a single insect house can make a positive impact in your garden.
Where to place a bug hotel
For best results, position your insect hotel in a sunny, sheltered location, ideally close to flowering plants or wildflowers. Avoid damp areas or shaded corners. Mount the hotel slightly above ground level to prevent moisture build-up, and keep it out of areas with frequent human or pet traffic. This will create a welcoming and safe environment for insects to settle in.
