Bug Hotel
Invite nature into your outdoor space with the ESP Bug Hotel, a beautifully crafted timber habitat that gives insects a safe place to shelter, nest and thrive. With its charming pitched roof and staggered layers of compartments, it's a striking focal point for school grounds, nurseries, community gardens and parks.
A Home for Minibeasts
Each level offers a different kind of refuge. Drilled holes along the front panels provide nesting spaces for solitary bees, while the open compartments can be filled with natural materials such as pine cones, bark, straw, hollow stems and logs, attracting ladybirds, beetles, woodlice, lacewings and more. Together they create a thriving mini ecosystem on your doorstep.
Hands-On Outdoor Learning
A bug hotel is a brilliant outdoor classroom resource. Children can help gather and arrange nesting materials, then observe, identify and record the creatures that move in, bringing science lessons on habitats, life cycles and food chains to life. It encourages curiosity, patience and respect for the natural world, supporting the EYFS and the primary science curriculum.
Supporting Local Biodiversity
With insect numbers in decline, providing shelter for pollinators and beneficial insects is more important than ever. Adding a bug hotel is a simple, visible way for schools and communities to support local wildlife and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
Built to Last
Sturdy timber construction and a protective green roof help keep the compartments sheltered from the weather, creating a durable habitat that welcomes visitors season after season.
