Insect nesting wood

Insect nesting wood beech

Nature conservation in your own garden

Most hymenopteran species that nest in cavities do not bore their own holes. Instead, they use existing tunnels in which they build their brood cells. These tunnels are created by certain beetles through their feeding activity.
Since natural nesting sites are lacking in our cultivated or cleared landscapes, every nature lover should make it a priority to hang up insect nesting aids. There are hardly any rules for installing these aids, but a sunny, sheltered location protected from wind and rain should be chosen.

Installation:
Garden arbors, pergolas, walls, gardens, and even balconies, up to the third or fourth floor. Nesting aids must also be provided in winter.
Stay outside, otherwise the insects in the holes will hatch prematurely from the nest and perish.

Cleaning & inspection:
Not necessary

Hymenopterans such as: wild bees, digger wasps, potter wasps and spider wasps (not social wasp species, such as the German wasp or the common wasp).
