Hello and welcome to Badger Workshop. I like to attract wildlife into the garden so I have made a bug house or bug hotel.

That looks far better than some of the hotels I've stayed at!

This has really inspired me to make my own bug house I’m making one at school and you are giving me some really good ideas for my bug hotel.

Bugs & beasties an important part of hosting nature in the garden. Nicely done project.

[THGRMREPR]

Your content makes me happy I watch them every day

[frankblack]

That is an aesthetic bullseye. Looks terrific.

Nice and simple plus using otherwise wasted wood. Great for nature from all angles

[philipjones]

I love these simple, no nonsense builds + helping hand for nature 👍

As the King of the Bugs I only have one thing to say: Thank you Matt !

Hi Matt that's a 5 star hotel, once you start building them you get the bug, keep up the good work, G.

Really encourage anyone providing best sites for solitary bees to use layered blocks that can be opened up and cleaned out each year once the bees have hatched, otherwise are inviting parasites and disease into the nest the following year. Alternatively make sure to refresh the tubes each year.

Great video. Very important to remember to drill your holes at a slightly downward angle so water can run out. Also, drill the holes blind (not all the way through to the other side.
Happy crafting! Do you part and save our insects.

Great looking Bug House! 🏠🐛🐞I made a few variations of these last year. They are now up in the garden waiting to be occupied.

Great project and better built than the 'affordable housing' going up near me! Thanks for sharing it.

Excellent video, easy to follow and very informative. Many thanks for sharing

It looks really nice, I need to make my self one of those.

[dayseprado]

I would love to see your bugs in it. 😊

[matthewsimkins]

Really nice looking bug hotel! I recommend having a decent overhang over the front of the unit to keep the rain off. Doesn't matter if you hang it under the eves of your shed of course!

[markgoode]
