Fully Assembled Large Beekeeping

This handcrafted bumblebee house encourages beneficial insects into your garden. The bamboo tubes provide the ideal nesting habitat for many of the over 200 species of solitary bee found in the UK. They lay their eggs in the tubes which are sealed in with a parcel of food made from either cut leaves or mud. The eggs change to larvae and then pupae which hatch out into new bees the following spring. The chamber with the slotted entrance provides shelter for moths and butterflies, many of which hibernate over winter. The pine cones provide the perfect shelter for ladybirds, the scourge of aphids. The mesh has been designed to permit access to native ladybirds only, and not the slightly larger, invasive Harlequin ladybirds which prey on our natural species. The section with blocks opens so that you can add leaf litter in the autumn, which acts as good overwinter habitat for another predator of aphids, the lacewing. Ideally, insect houses should be located in a South, South East, or South-West facing location in a sheltered position close to, but not obscured by, vegetation. This insect house was designed in collaboration with the UK's leading insect charity - Buglife

The gift of connects you to the natural world of pollinating bees. Just hang the bee barrel in your garden & watch as the empty canes get filled up with ‘baby bees’ during the Summer months. Then next Spring marvel as the next generation of adult bees emerges to continue the cycle of life. Attracting solitary bees to the garden is not only safe but beneficial to the pollination of flowers, fruit and vegetables. Solitary bees are born pollinators! The hole sizes of this bee barrel are perfect for non-swarming bees like the Red Mason Bee, Leafcutter Bee and other solitary bees. These friendly bees are industrious and safe around children and pets as they are unlikely to sting.
