Insect Hotels Attract Beneficial Insects

An insect hotel in the garden will attract these beneficial insects, offering them a space where they can propagate and hunker down for the winter. Encouraging biodiversity in the garden helps to increase ecosystem productivity.
Placing an inscet hotel in the garden increases the chances that bensficial insects will naturally visit your garden. Also known as bug hotels, bug boxes, and bug houses, these human-made structures offer several benefits.

An Inn for Insects
Local insects that pollinate and defend the gardens of Pegasos World Zoo can use this insect hotel as a place to overwinter or build nests.

Pollinators
These insects feed on nectar and pollen and help plants reproduce.
(There are pictures of a Green Lacewing and a Mason Bee.)

Defenders
These predatory insects help control garden pests.
(There are pictures of a Ladybug Beetle and a Mud Dauber.)
Mud Daubers and Mason Bees have stingers for defense but rarely use them on people if they are left alone.

An illustration of the insect hotel gives the following information;
Mason bees are solitary bees that seek out cavities such as drilled holes, where each female builds her own nursery.

Materials are refreshed seasonally to ensure clean and welcoming rooms for the residents.

Natural materials such as stacked pinecones and piles of bark provide snug places where insects can find shelter from the elements, especially during the winter.
