🐝 Sunny & Sheltered: Face south or southeast to stay warm and inviting for bees.
🌸 Near Flowers: Position near flowering plants, fruit trees, or veg beds for easy access to pollen.
🌳 Off the Ground: Mount about 1 m high on a fence, post, or wall.
🌿 Low Disturbance: Choose a quiet corner — insects prefer calm, consistent surroundings.

Wiggly Tip: If you don’t see activity, try moving it to a sunnier or more flower-rich spot — insects will soon find their way.

At Lower Blakemere Farm in Herefordshire, we’ve spent decades working to balance farming with wildlife. Our regenerative approach encourages pollinators, builds soil health, and supports biodiversity across our fields and hedgerows.

We’re proud to see thriving populations of solitary bees, honeybees, dung beetles, and birds on the farm — all vital to soil and crop health. Every insect block you install extends that same principle to your own garden, creating more connected habitats for pollinators and beneficial bugs to thrive.

When you choose Wiggly Wigglers, you’re not just buying a garden accessory — you’re joining a movement to make British gardens more alive, sustainable, and soil-friendly.

🐝 Pollination Power:
Solitary bees are responsible for pollinating up to one-third of UK food crops, visiting far more flowers per day than honeybees. Their work directly boosts fruit set and vegetable yields.

🦋 Natural Pest Control:
Ladybirds, lacewings, and hoverfly larvae can consume hundreds of aphids each week, keeping roses, beans, and brassicas naturally pest-free.

🌍 Biodiversity & Balance:
Encouraging a mix of pollinators, decomposers, and predators strengthens your garden’s ecosystem, improves soil structure, and reduces dependence on chemicals.

By simply adding a well-placed insect block, you help close the loop between pollination, pest control, and plant health — a tiny home that makes a huge impact.

1. Mount securely with screws or place on a stable ledge.
2. Avoid pesticide use nearby — it harms the very insects you want to help.
3. Leave it out year-round; bees and other insects overwinter inside.
4. Inspect in late autumn and gently clean any debris if holes become blocked.

Wiggly Tips:

• Add a shallow dish of water with pebbles for bees to drink safely.
• Plant native flowers like foxglove, scabious, and wild marjoram nearby.
• Leave small patches of bare soil for ground-nesting bees.
• Mix in logs, stones, or leaf piles for extra hiding spots.

No — solitary bees are docile, non-aggressive, and safe for children and pets.

When will insects move in?
You’ll see activity from early spring through summer as bees seal holes and ladybirds shelter inside.

Do I need to clean it?
Not usually. A quick check once a year in late autumn is plenty.

Can I use it on a balcony or patio?
Yes! It’s compact enough for balconies, courtyards, and even windowsills.
