Product description
Product code: 85012618
The Artisan Bee Hotel from Wildlife World creates a habitat for many solitary bee species to lay the next generation of larvae and provides shelter during bad weather. Always a friend to the gardener, attracting solitary bees to the garden is safe and beneficial for pollinating flowers, fruit and vegetables. The Artisan Bee Hotel is handmade and hand-painted by Balinese artisans in a genuinely authentic Indonesian style. Made from sustainably sourced, durable timber using traditional painting techniques, the brightly coloured hand-painted dot design is appealing to us and will also help attract solitary bees that have become harder to find in modern gardens.
The hole sizes of this habitat are precisely specified to attract 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. The bees are naturally attracted to holes in wood.
Stake this Bee Hotel amongst flowers in borders or planters where bees will be drawn. Site in a sunny position facing between south to the southeast to catch some morning sun. Wipe away any external dirt with a damp cloth, avoiding any abrasive cleaning products. You can disassemble the Bee Hotel to clean the trays once all the larvae have hatched. The timing of this will depend on the species of solitary bee you have nesting.
