Two beautiful, playfully designed insect hotels that were newly built in 2019.

Insect hotels are special structures designed to provide a living and nesting place for various types of insects, such as bees, bumblebees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. They consist of different compartments and materials, such as branches, reeds, bamboo, loam and wood, and are designed to meet the specific needs of the insects, such as shelter, food and nectar sources. Insect hotels are important for nature because they contribute to the protection and enhancement of biodiversity.

In the spring of 2019, these two great insect hotels were completed and the old dilapidated insect hotel was demolished.

During the beautiful hike in the Overlaat, from the Bardwijkse to the forest lake Lange Wiel, you will pass the two impressive insect hotels in a very idyllic area.

One of the bigger bug hotels I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the decay is starting to set in a bit, some maintenance should actually be done.
