Site your Bee & Bug Biome in a sheltered position from floor level up to 2 metres above ground level on a wall, shed, fence or pole or similar.  It is important that it faces South to South East to catch the morning sun.  Do not site under shaded tree canopies.


The top chamber will encourage safe solitary bees to nest and features seven wooden nesting tubes in a bee block & bamboo tubes of various sizes. The larger feeding hole is for insects such as ladybirds, earwigs & lacewings.  Why not try some LadybirdFood/Attractant to encourage them in.


 


Now your Bug box is built, you need to think about where to place it. for best results site in a warm, sunny, sheltered position, out of prevailing winds and close to vegetation. 

They can be hung from trees, arches or pergolas. The wall bug houses can be hung on a fence or wall. If aphids are a problem on a particular plant, such as roses, cherry trees or runner beans, then site your bug house nearby.

for best results fill the house packed full of nice dry straw and deadwood sticks.
