WoodStone® Isabela Bee & Insect Hotel

Bee & Insect Hotels can support a variety of bugs in your garden, including bees, ladybirds, and lacewings, helping to pollinate plants and boost biodiversity. This attractive hotel is made of WoodStone®, an innovative, breathable, and durable blend of concrete and FSC®-certified wood fibres. The bamboo tubes inside can be replaced over time, allowing insects to nest again and again.

Solitary bees such as mason and leafcutter bees will be the most likely guests at your insect hotel, along with solitary wasps. After collecting enough pollen in the tubes or holes, they will lay their eggs and cover them with more pollen. Once the eggs hatch, the pollen provides food for young bees as they prepare to leave the hotel.

The Isabela Bee & Insect Hotel should be placed in a sunny area of your garden or outdoor space near pollen-rich flowering plants, so bees and other bugs can easily access it. The hotel can be mounted on a wall or fence using the metal hook provided. Protect your insect hotel and its residents in autumn and winter by putting it in a shed or under cover out of the rain. 

To keep your Isabela Bee & Insect Hotel cosy and welcoming, we recommend replacing the nesting tubes every 1-2 years. Swapping out the old tubes helps prevent the build-up of bacteria, which can be harmful to our tiny garden visitors. By doing this, you'll continue to support the biodiversity in your garden and ensure your insect friends have a safe, clean place to call home.
