What does the DIY workshop on building an insect hotel do for the team?
adebar's "insect hotel building" DIY workshop goes further than many standard team building activities. It strengthens the team on several levels: 1. \\Communication and collaboration\\: while building together, team members practise communicating clearly and working well together. 2. \\Problem-solving skills\\: tricky parts of the assembly call for creative solutions and encourage analytical thinking. 3. \\Sense of community\\: when you build something together, you experience what it feels like to reach a goal as a group. 4. \\Motivation and engagement\\: a finished insect hotel is motivating. Employees experience an activity that feels meaningful to them. 5. \\Encouraging creativity\\: everyone contributes something to the overall look of the insect hotel. That sparks creativity. 6. \\Individuality and corporate identity\\: if you wish, the insect hotel can be branded in your company's style. That strengthens the sense of belonging and corporate identity. So the workshop shows that team building can improve the working atmosphere and contribute to a positive company image at the same time.
Can the team event also take place outdoors?
Yes, building insect hotels works very well outdoors too. It is a lovely opportunity to spend time together in the fresh air. We organise the event in the company garden, in public parks or on other suitable open spaces. For larger groups in public places, we obtain the necessary permits in advance. That way your team building event runs smoothly.
How much does the insect hotel building team event cost?
The costs depend on several factors, such as the number of participants, the venue and any additional services. We plan the event to suit your wishes and your budget. The main cost items are the materials, instruction by experienced project managers and the planning and delivery of the event. What matters to us is that the experience strengthens your employees' communication and problem-solving skills. For a transparent quote, we will be happy to advise you personally. Together we clarify the scope and details of your team event and draw up a concept for you. That way you keep an eye on the budget, and the event fits your requirements.

How many insect hotels can be built?
That depends on the group size and the goals of your event. We adapt the workshop so that all team members are involved. Depending on your wishes, the result is one large shared insect hotel or several smaller ones. We plan an intensive workshop for a small group differently from an event with the whole company. The number of insect hotels depends on your team building concept.
How long does it take to build an insect hotel?
That depends on the design and complexity. A simple DIY project is finished in 2–4 hours. Our team building workshops are designed to last about 2–3 hours.
