Some of the larger tubes are just the right size for masonry or leaf cutter bees. These bees do not swarm so there would only be a few of them using the box. The bees lay an egg in a tube put balls of pollen with it & then stop up the end of the tube with leaves or mud & in the spring the young adult eats its way out & the cycle starts over.

Other insects such as ladybirds will also happily use the smaller tubes in this habitat. Ladybirds in particular provide a wonderful natural garden pest removal service by helping to get rid of aphids & other unwanted bugs.

Dimensions: W17 x D10.5 x H17cm
