This beautifully designed bee hyve provides a home for bees & other insects to help pollinate your garden. Pollinating bees are great helpers in your garden, pollinating flowers, fruit & vegetables, & they are safe around children & pets. Drilled holes in this wooden bee hyve allows somewhere safe for the female solitary bee to lay her eggs. It is fascinating to watch them filling the tubes during spring & early summer. The bee hyve is constructed from FSC timber & the body is painted with a water-based seagreen paint, & the natural lapped wooden roof keeps the house dry & protected.
