They also let you study your insects and observe their life cycle. Whether in the garden or on a balcony, these nesting aids are a reliable and relaxing way of making observations and gaining knowledge. Closer contact with this group of animals, and an awareness of their beauty, are the basis for greater respect for wildlife. These nesting aids are prefect for nurseries, schools, colleges and wildlife centres as well as private gardens. Their designs allow creatures to be observed with minimal disturbance.

Siting and Positioning:
There are no hard and fast rules for siting but care should be taken to select a sunny site that is protected from wind and rain. Examples of good sites include allotment sheds, pergolas, walls, gardens and even balconies up to the third or fourth floor.

Cleaning and Inspection:
Nesting aids should also be left outside during the winter because otherwise the insects will emerge from their winter hiding places too early and die.
