This beautifully designed insect hotel is ideal as a shelter for insects. Solitary bees, among other things, like to use an insect hotel. After collecting enough pollen into the bamboo tubes they will then lay their eggs and cover with more pollen. When the eggs hatch, the pollen forms food for the young bee and works its way out to fly out. Bees, as pollinators of plants, are essential for our food supply. Help the bees by hanging this insect hotel. Give it a sunny spot, preferably close to many flowering plants. Check out our website for our extensive collection of plants that attract bees. Bring more animals and wildlife into your garden, with an insect hotel. Also available in other sizes. Dimensions: 13 x 13 x 26 cm Material: spruce wood and bamboo
