Artisan Butterfly, Bee and Bug House

Bring a splash of color to your garden with this beautifully designed butterfly, bee, and bug house. Handcrafted in Bali from sustainable wood and featuring stunning artisan dot painting, this unique habitat blends art and function. It offers nesting holes for solitary bees and a hidden overwintering space for butterflies and other beneficial bugs like ladybirds and lacewings.

The included removable feeding spoon can be filled with butterfly food, sugar paste, or fruit to attract and nourish your garden's visitors. Designed in the UK with a Bali wood certification, it's an eco-friendly and charming addition to any outdoor space.

Summer Feeder: In the warmer months, use the nectar feeding spoon to provide a space for butterfly food, sweet ripe fruit, or nectar solutions. This helps attract butterflies, hoverflies, and other pollinators to your garden, especially when natural nectar is scarce.

Winter Shelter: During colder months, the house provides a cozy overwintering chamber. A slotted wooden cartridge inside offers safe, insulated spaces for non-migratory butterflies and other insects like lacewings and ladybirds.

Features:

• Handcrafted and Unique: Each house is made using slow-seasoned timber, ensuring durability and sustainability. The vibrant painted finish is done with eco-friendly paints.
• Easy to Maintain: The wood's natural resilience eliminates the need for additional treatments, and the painted surface can be refreshed with a clear coating to maintain its decorative appeal.
• Eco-Friendly Design: Crafted to provide an insect-safe environment while adding natural beauty to your outdoor space.

Siting:
Position the butterfly house in a sunny, sheltered spot, away from prevailing winds. This encourages butterflies to visit and stay.

Feeding Instructions:

• Fill the nectar spoon regularly with a sugar water solution, particularly in early spring and late summer.
• Place overripe fruit in the central tray—bananas, oranges, or other sweet fruits work best!
• Regularly clean the nectar pots and replace the food to prevent bacteria buildup.

Maintenance:

• The habitat requires minimal upkeep thanks to its durable timber construction.

Observation:
Expect to see a variety of beneficial garden visitors, including butterflies, hoverflies, bees, and wasps, using the feeder in summer. During winter, the house serves as a shelter for overwintering insects, making it a year-round addition to your wildlife-friendly garden.
