Did you know that nearly 75% of flying insect biomass has disappeared in Europe over the last 30 years? Faced with this alarming fact, every garden can become a refuge or insect hotel.

2. A natural way to combat aphids An insect hotel attracts ladybirds. A single ladybird larva can eat 150 aphids a day. It’s better than pesticides!
3. A spectacle for children It is a fascinating observation tool. Watching a bee build its tube is a captivating spectacle that raises awareness among young children.
