Wooden bee shelter to place

Shelter for solitary bees

Peaceful wild bees are among the most beneficial and useful for pollinating the plants and flowers in your garden. This solitary bee house can be hung up or placed on its feet and offers several types of bees an excellent nesting site. Each type of wild bee prefers a certain laying opening and a particular cross-section.

Mason bees, for example, live in holes with a diameter of 3 to 7 mm, while masked bees prefer 2 to 4 mm. A queen bee lays her eggs in the narrow wooden cavities, then supplies the nest with pollen and nectar. Wild bees seal the cells using clay.
