The Mason Bee House is a hand-made, Dimensions are 5.9 inches H x 8.67 inches L x 5.9 inches W, specially designed pine wood bee house that is coated in a bee-friendly wax coating to protect it from the elements. It comes with removable phragmite reed tubes that attract different native bees and can be split open gently to inspect and store bee cocoons. Unlike bamboo bee houses that can cause damage to bee larvae, the Mason Bee House is designed for long-term use, allowing you to enjoy it for many years. Refill packs for mason bee supplies are also available. It's important to keep the bee house clean, and the Mason Bee House allows for easy cleaning of nesting cavities. The mason bee tubes and inserts are replaceable (not glued in), making it convenient to clean each season. This step is often overlooked but is crucial for maintaining a healthy nesting environment for bees. Just like humans wouldn't stay in an unclean hotel, bees also need a clean space to raise their young. To set up the Mason Bee House, mount it in a sunny location facing southeast or south, between 3.3ft and 6.5ft off the ground. Ensure there are no trees or plants covering the entrance. Use the included hooks to securely mount the bee house, using appropriate fixings for your mounting surface. This will prevent the bee house from moving in the wind and provide a stable home for the bees. By providing a clean and suitable habitat for solitary bees like Mason, Orchard, Leafcutter, Aphid, or Carpenter bees, the Mason Bee House pollinator garden kit contributes to supporting these important pollinators in your garden.
Removable 5-inch honeycomb tubes: to be replaced every season; our bee-friendly wax coating helps protect your wooden bee house and stone bee from weather damage. This beautiful bee hotel comes in an exquisite box, making it a perfect gift for pollinator gardens! Secure installation is required for the pollinating bee house, with hooks provided at the back (fixings not included).
