Bee And Insect House - Cream

Product Description

This attractive Bee & Insect House can be placed freestanding on a tabletop or you could attach it to a wall or tree. Manufactured from cream powder coated metal with bamboo tubes it will provide a safe shelter for bees & other insects whilst adding a lovely feature to your garden.

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
