Solitary Bee Hive, Wood

The Solitary Bee Hotel from Wildlife World is a family-friendly bee housing solution that allows you to attract solitary bees to pollinate your flowers, fruits, and vegetables. With no sting in the tail, these small, furry bees are 70% more efficient pollinators than honey bees, making them an ideal addition to your garden.

Placed on the sunny side of your garden, this interactive solitary bee hive will soon be occupied by the busy bees. The ideal birthday or thank-you gift for gardeners and nature lovers, this hive offers a unique opportunity to observe the fascinating life cycle of these unsung heroes of pollination.

With over 250,000 varieties of solitary bees in the UK, the private tubes within the timber box will soon become their new home. The stacking trays can be opened for inspection and cleaning, allowing you to watch the hive of activity within the cells through a handy, swivel-open perspex viewing panel on the roof.

Witness the mother bee's diligent work as she places pollen and nectar under her young to ensure they are well-fed before they fly away and begin their vital role of collecting pollen on their legs and abdomen. Each hole size has been meticulously measured to accommodate the non-swarming solitary bee varieties, including the Red Mason, Leaf-Cutter, and Orchard Bee.

A tell-tale sign of a resident bee is the sight of the tube sealed up with a leaf or mud, indicating the successful nesting of these solitary insects. As solitary bees have lost much of their natural habitat due to construction, this bee hotel provides a great way to give these unsung heroes the ultimate bed and breakfast experience.

Constructed from durable, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified timber, the stacking trays of this improved solitary bee hive can be easily separated to allow for direct observation of the bee nesting activity, from eggs to larvae, pupae, and adulthood.

Interact with nature and support the vital pollination work of solitary bees with this new and improved solitary bee hive from Wildlife World. Enjoy the captivating display of these busy bees as they thrive in their new, safe, and secure home.
