Give solitary bees and garden insects a safe, lasting home with this eco-friendly insect hotel. Made from durable WoodStone®, it's a haven for pollinators and a charming, low-maintenance addition to any outdoor space.

Why Buy the WoodStone® Insect Block?

If you want to support local wildlife and improve your garden’s biodiversity, providing safe nesting spaces is one of the most impactful steps you can take. The WoodStone® Insect Block offers essential shelter for solitary bees and other beneficial insects, encouraging natural pollination and pest control in your garden. Unlike cheaper wooden alternatives, this insect habitat is built to last – no rotting, warping or cracking. Just a reliable, safe space for wildlife to thrive.

What Is It?

The WoodStone® Insect Block is a premium insect habitat crafted from WoodStone® – an innovative blend of sustainable wood fibres and concrete. Designed with a range of drilled holes and nooks that mimic natural cavities, it provides the ideal nesting environment for solitary bees like red mason and leafcutter bees, as well as shelter for lacewings and ladybirds. With a modern yet natural look, it blends well into gardens, allotments, balconies or even urban green spaces.

How Will It Help?

Solitary bees are among the UK’s most effective pollinators – far more efficient than honeybees – yet they face a shortage of nesting sites due to modern landscaping and habitat loss. By placing the WoodStone® Insect Block in your garden, you will:

• Encourage pollination: boosting the health and yield of flowers, fruit, and vegetables
• Support declining insect populations: helping balance your local ecosystem
• Educate and inspire: offering a fascinating opportunity to watch pollinators up close

With little maintenance needed, this is the ultimate 'buy and enjoy' addition to your wildlife-friendly garden.

Siting & Maintenance Guide

To get the best from your WoodStone® Insect Block, place it in a sunny, sheltered area, ideally south or southeast facing. Mount on a fence or wall using the strong metal hook included.

Position: near pollen-rich flowering plants, so bees and bugs don’t have to travel far to forage.

Autumn & Winter care: Move your habitat to a shed, greenhouse, or dry shelter during wet, cold months to protect developing larvae and extend the insect box's life.

Tube care: Replace nesting tubes every 1–2 years. This prevents harmful bacteria and parasite build-up and keeps the space safe and inviting, ready for future insect guests.

By keeping your insect hotel well cared for, you’re giving pollinators the best possible chance to thrive and continuing your garden’s story as a sanctuary for wildlife.
