Introducing the Swarm Bug Hotel, a remarkable way to contribute to species protection, ignite children's curiosity and give nature a voice. By incorporating a bug hotel into your garden, you can embark on a fascinating journey to discover and understand the diverse range of insects that visit and inhabit your outdoor space. Our bug hotels provide invaluable benefits to various minibeasts and insects such as ladybirds, bees, spiders, and woodlice. These tiny creatures can utilize the bug hotel as a secure haven to seek shelter, lay their eggs, nurture their offspring, and find refuge from predators.

Crafted with precision and care by skilled joiners in Staffordshire, UK, this one-of-a-kind Insect Hotel is meticulously filled with natural elements like foraged twigs, logs, and pine cones sourced from local forest floors. Our commitment to preserving the environment is reflected in our sourcing practices, where everything is responsibly collected from the forest except for the addition of bamboo sticks or river reeds. The design of our insect hotels is specifically tailored to attract solitary bees, beetles, ladybirds, and other beneficial garden insects.

The wood used in the construction of our bug hotels is sourced from UK forests, specifically Larch, ensuring a rustic and robust feel. To maintain its longevity and appearance, we recommend treating Swarm with a water-based stain or paint.

Dimensions:

• Width: 350mm
• Depth: 97mm
• Height: 300mm
• Weight: 4.5kg

Rest assured, the wood we use is sourced from an FSC-certified supplier, guaranteeing its sustainability and responsible origins.
