Bug House at Packwood

Another one for the collection

Bug House at The Weir Garden

This is an additional bug house (probably for bees?) to the one that was already there on a previous visit.

More Bugs

A 'des res' for bugs lurking in the undergrowth at the Hayes Conference Centre near Swanwick. Lovely grounds managed for wildlife.

Even a bird hide....

I am sure you have deserted!!

One of the three bug houses at Baddesley Clinton

Rural Bughouse

Loved this bug house out in the open country at Brockhampton.  Wonder if there is an old lady living in the shoe?

Hive Revisited

What a surprise today!! I spent most of the day at The Hive in Worcester and the Bug House has taken on new beauty ....

Lost Your Way?

Just for you .... bugs will have no trouble seeking a home at Webbs

Home at the Hive

Popped into Worcester yesterday to pick up my new glasses and discovered a new home for the bugs constructed very close to The Hive.  There is a wealth of wild plants provided especially for insects and animals around The Hive so I am sure this bug house will be well used if it does not get vandalised first!!

Not Another Bug House!!

No ..... it's not!  This one is at Croft Castle and is now complete since my visit last year and very resplendent it looks too as it overlooks the pond which has newts, frogs and grass snakes visiting.

Tatton Bug House

A very rustic bug house in the walled garden at Tatton Park. I am sure the bugs do not mind!

Just Another Bug House!!

I discovered this photograph recently whilst moving some pictures into folders.  I think it was taken at Ryton Organic Gardens in 2014.

RHS Bug House

As my friend has given up posting on this blog, and I have not yet carried out my threat of posting a rather embarrassing photograph of her on here of her bahaviour at an EG Christmas lunch, thought I would add yet another bug house instead!! This one was at Wisley.

Another NT Bug House

Stourhead this time

On the Plastic

Think there were teasels in one of the bottles

Good use for old wellies

This was part of the Bug Hotel at Croft Castle.  The sun was in the wrong position to take a picture of the whole thing, but it was impressive.

Des Res?

Work in Progress

Berrington Hall are currentluy making an Auricula Theatre in their walled garden and this is as far as it had got.  The blackboard has a rought sketch of rows of flowerpots on it to give the impression of what it could look like!!  The wonderful wall behind was home to lots of bees popping in and out.  They looked like honey bees, but guess they were more likely to be masonry bees.

Bug House (post modernization)

This is my first insect house, (chez hazeltwiglet) built by my own fair hand!!  No frame and no DH to  help me.  It has now been modified so I will take another picture and post it soon.  It houses solitary bees and other bugs.
