These solitary bees help pollinate your flowers. The bees are solitary so there is no risk of them swarming like honey bees. Although solitary, the bees are happy to live in close proximity of one another and you will get several taking up residence in this solitary bee house. They are fascinating to watch. You can get very close to the bee house without any risk of being stung. Just keep out of the flight path so that they can fly in and out.
The females cut leaves to line the walls of their nest and then they provision the cell with pollen and lay an egg. She then carefully cuts a circular piece of leaf to seal up the chamber. She repeats the process until the tube is filed. The young grubs feed on the pollen she's provided and will emerge later in the year or emerge next year.

Solitary Beehive - This wooden beehive (bees prefer wooden nesting sites) is constructed with a durable timber roof and base with wooden nesting trays in-between which are all held together with two stainless steel bolts - this allows easy access to the entire beehive. The solitary bees then lay their eggs inside the holes and seal them with mud or chewed up vegetation so it is easy to tell if it is being used. The following year the adults and their offspring will use the same nest again building up the numbers of bees in your garden each year.

Interactive box with individual cell trays for inspection/cleaning plus laminated Bee Guide (s/s bolt opening).
