Sting Bug Hotel - Made by Wildlife and Birdcare Nature Recovery Project (CIC). Why build a bug hotel?  You can help protect species, inspire children & give nature a voice. When you add a bug hotel to your garden you can learn more about 'The Bugs' that visit and live in your garden.  Bug hotels benefit lots of different types of minibeast and insects such as ladybirds, bees, spiders and woodlice. Minibeasts can then use your bug hotel as a safe space to shelter, lay their eggs, raise their young, and seek refuge from predators.  Sting is a tall thin bug hotel with 5 compartments. 

With Our Unique Insect Hotels are made by our skilled joiners and people with Learning Disabilities Swarm is designed and made by us in our joinery workshop in Staffordshire.  Swarm Bug Hotel is filled with* natural foraged twigs, logs and pine cones (seasonal variations) collected from our local forest floors. Our placement students with special needs go out every Monday and collect when we need to make our bug hotels for you. 

Everything is collected from the forest floors apart from our addition, which is bamboo sticks or river reeds. Our insect hotels are built to attract solitary bees, beetles, ladybirds and other garden insects.

Made from Larch from UK forests , our wood is rustic in feel, very chunky. These are extremely popular and take some time to make. You will need to treat Swarm with some water based Stain or paint.
