Make your own Insect hotel! Attract native bees and other insects to your garden and provide them a safe place to live, it's a great project for the children as they can keep an eye on it in the backyard. add a hook or bracket and hang it from a tree or on a fence somewhere out of reach from animals.
Please note, the kits may be supplied with drilled wooden blocks and not branches as pictured as sourcing the branch offcuts is difficult.

Depending on material availability, the materials shown in the photo may vary from time to time.
