Wildlife World Artisan Bee Hotel

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 not only safe but beneficial to the pollination of flowers, fruit and vegetables. These Bee Hotels are handcrafted in Bali, Indonesia, from sustainably sourced, durable timber using traditional painting techniques to produce a truly unique garden feature. The brightly coloured hand-painted dot design is not only appealing to us, but it will also help attract solitary bees. 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, and the Wildlife World handmade Artisan Bee Hotel provides a habitat for solitary bees that have become harder to find in modern gardens. Installation Stake this Bee Hotel amongst flowers either in borders or planters where bees will be drawn. Site in a sunny position facing between south to the south-east to catch some morning sun. Maintenance Wipe away any external dirt with a damp cloth, avoiding anything abrasive. You can disassemble the Bee Hotel in order 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).
