Install your insect hotel against a tree trunk or fence post that is south facing and receives plenty of morning sun. If possible, it’s best to position the insect hotel somewhere warm and dry, where it won’t be too badly affected by heavy rainfall, wind, etc.
If you have a spot that is near vegetation, wood piles or a pond, this will increase the chances of your insect hotel becoming a popular hotspot for your local wildlife.
Position your bee house at least 1 metre high, ensuring entry is not being blocked by any vegetation. Plant bee friendly flowers in the surrounding area, ideally a healthy variety of plants that will provide pollen and nectar all year round.
We’d recommend installing your bee hotel so that it is facing south in an unobstructed spot where it can receive as much sunlight as possible.
