Great use of wood and garden debris to make a beautiful fall decoration! Did you have the experience of insects populating these hotels?

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. The small one we have over the hen house has some of the holes blocked up for Winter but we are nor sure what is in them. A fellow-youtuber Dale Calder actually bought a small hotel but with bamboo tubes exactly like the ones in ours and he has a video of bees (leaf cutters) actually making the doors. We only started these larger designs just this month so it will be really interesting to see what goes in them. We tried to make plenty of habitats to get the maximum choice. Hope you will make some for your garden - the small ones make great presents too. We made about 15 last Christmas! Best Wishes from France, Organikmechanic aka Andy
