The Artisan Insect & Bee Hotels are made from recycled saris and are Fair-Trade products that help the disadvantaged women in Bangladesh who make them by hand. Bee Nesters are of course more familiar to us with our Artisan range, and we just had to bring these stunning nesters to the market. Not only do they make a colourful statement to any garden, they provide a safe habitat for solitary garden bees. Every bee nester is unique and individual in colour and just like the bird nesters that we have sold thousands of, every purchase of these new hanging planters and bee nesters helps fund families in Bangladesh out of poverty.

The Sari is the ‘bell-shaped’ model of our Artisan Wild Bird Nester range. Offering a medium-sized cavity perfect for small garden bird species which roost alone or in a pair. The Fair Trade Bird Nester has a sturdy inner frame for support. Attached strong metal hooks at the rear and a long loop at the top to ensure you can fasten the nester securely. As a result, these make it easier to site the nester in the natural leaf cover and vegetation of ivy, bushes, trees or hedges. The nester has a small round entrance reinforced with steel. It is also slightly protruding to make it easy for birds to land and perch on. Purchasing our Fair Trade product helps both wildlife and people. In addition to giving a bird a nest, you’ll be supporting the Artisan workers in Southern Bangladesh who make them. Funding the survival of many women and their families from rural communities in desperate poverty. Handmade to the highest quality finish using hogla grass and recycled saris. (Hogla is a type of grass that abundantly grows in Bangladesh and is used as a material for baskets, cushions and placemats. Hogla grass regularly causes problems near the shores as it can overgrow whole harbors, rivers and ponds. This material is considered a weed and the local villagers remove it.) Every nester is unique in colour! Each artisan chooses the colourful recycled sari pattern making every nester different. Siting Position the bird nester in a sheltered space to keep out harsh weather. Preferably face the bird nester between North and South-East. A warm, protected roosting space out of the prevailing wind can be a lifesaver for small birds during cold, harsh weather conditions.

The eco-friendly Eco Bee Nester is our latest addition to our solitary bee hive collection. They are designed to attract and care for solitary bees in your garden. Solitary bees are the least well-known of our bees in Britain, but they are fantastic pollinators, and they're great to encourage into your allotment, veg patch, borders, fruit trees and flower beds. We have around 270 species of bee in Britain, including the honey bee and bumblebees. Just under 250 of these species are actually solitary bees and come in all shapes and sizes. The Bee Nester is made for Mason Bees and Leaf Cutter Bees, who will use the tubes to lay their eggs each spring and summer, closing up the tubes with either mud or leaves. What's unique about our Bee Nester? It is designed and made from natural, environmentally friendly materials, making it kind to nature and for nature. The Eco Nester is formed from natural plant fibres with almost zero waste pollution during production. Once it reaches the end of its life, it can even be degraded into fertiliser. ​ The pretty colour blends into flower patches and gardens, and the rustic hanging string is durable and long-lasting. The internal nesting tubes can be replaced yearly, making this a long-term investment for your local bees. Siting Your new Bee Nester should be hung anywhere between ground level and two metres in height. The bees need a clear pathway to the tubes, so try not to nestle it into too much vegetation. But it is a good idea to plant some nectar-rich flowers and plants nearby to feed the bees. Keep the Nester in a sheltered spot, away from prevailing winds and rain. Ideally, you want the front of the Nester facing the morning sunshine so that it warms up through the day. You can also angle it slightly downwards to prevent rainwater from trickling inside. As autumn approaches and solitary bee numbers reduce, you can fit the front guard on to act as a predator guard to stop woodpeckers from taking the eggs. Height 9.5 cm x Width 9.5 cm x Depth 16 cm
