This large bumble bee house is ideal for providing these vital, friendly pollinators with a safe and protected nesting site in your backyard. Crafted from sustainable pine wood with a durable zinc pitched flip-top roof, it comes complete with wood shaving nesting material - essential for creating an environment that a queen bee will accept as a nest.
Perfect for placement on top of a low wall, a garden brick, or a sheltered patch of soil, the box is fitted with a long tube entrance which bees prefer. The landing pad outside the hole makes entry easy and it is painted bright orange, a colour that will attract buzzy visitors. The lid flips opens, allowing for effortless end-of-season cleaning and inspection after the colony moves on. There are ventilation holes at either side of the box, each one mesh covered to allow airflow but prevent unwanted visitors from entering. No assembly is required.
For best results, position the habitat in a location warmed by the early morning sun but fully shaded for the rest of the day, and fill the main compartment with the supplied nesting materials.
The bumble bee house serves as a wonderful, educational focal point for patios, balconies, or flower beds and makes a thoughtful gift for nature lovers looking to boost garden biodiversity.
