The National Trust Apex Insect House will make a great addition to any garden, balcony or outdoor area. It is beautfully designed and will offer shelter to a variety of insects that can be beneficial to your garden, for example Solitary bees (a non-stinging species) like to use the holes to lay their eggs in. Insects are integral to achieving a balanced ecosystem in your garden. Species such as ladybirds and lacewings will help to control aphids, and bees deliver an essential pollination service. You can encourage a wide range of beneficial insects into your garden by providing nesting sites and refuges. Simply place the National Trust Apex Insect House in a sheltered spot, preferably between vegetation, or hang on a nail no higher than 2 metres from the ground.  We recommend pairing this Insect House with the National Trust Hexagon Insect House to create the ultimate haven for insects.
