Corsica Extra Large Bee & Insect Hotel

This extra large professional insect hotel provides nesting space for solitary bees and other small insects such as spiders,  lacewings, ladybirds and earwigs. Provisions have also been made for bumblebees and moths.

The Corsica can be placed in various ways, in the ground, on a green/flat roof or on the wall. The front, where possible, facing south. Where you can we recommend providing appropriate pollinating plants for bees nearby.

•    To use in the ground, the legs of the hotel should first be mounted vertically to the hotel using the fixing material provided. Then dig the holes in the ground, put the hotel in place (requires two people) and fill the holes again. Make sure that the part of the pole with the protective black layer is just above ground level and that the posts are placed at least 50cm into the ground.
•    When installing this hotel on a flat roof or terrace, the posts should be fixed horizontally to the legs of the hotel. After installation, weight the posts with gravel or tiles.
•    If installing on the wall please use the plug and screw supplied to mount the insect hotel.

The Corsica Insect Hotel is finished with a water-based clear varnish - a regular repainting will naturally extend its durability. The bamboo tubes do not need to be replaced unless they are damaged or pulled out. We also recommend that you check your Corsica Insect Hotel once a year in the winter months for overall condition and stability.

This is a large and specialist item to produce. Please be aware that delivery may therefore be longer than usual and we may require you to be in when we deliver. Bare in mind that up to two insect hotels would fit on one pallet.
