Weta Motel

Weta motels are great for kids, schools, community projects, plantings, and ecological restoration projects etc.

Creative Woodcraft’s wet motels are designed with a tunnel entrance at the base, and a front opening inspection door. Weta occupy these motels of their own accord, as good refuges are generally in short supply.

When you buy a weta motel why not record and share your findings?

Did you know?

• Weta are at risk of being eaten by introduced predators like rats, stoats, and cats.
• Big heavy animals can squash weta.
• Weta adapt well to living in a modified habitat.
• Female weta lay 100-300 eggs, so if you provide a home they like and weta live there, their numbers will grow!

Includes

Instructions (including) some of the other species that may be found using your weta motel.

Siting

Easily mounted or hung (rope required).

Tui and other nectar feeding birds are attracted by the colour red because most of their food is found on plants and trees which have this colour flower. We advise our customers to add red food colouring to their syrup/nectar as in most cases this works well to attract them.

Feeding

1. Once you have filled your bottle with sugar/nectar water.
   Tip: It’s a good idea to wrap a small piece of glad wrap/food wrap over the opening of the bottle to prevent spillage whilst placing the bottle in the feeder.
2. Replace the bottle back in the wild bird bottle feeder (Tui feeder).
3. Gently remove any glad wrap/food wrap
4. The opening of the bottle should be sitting just below the rim of the bowl.
5. The sugar/nectar water will then begin to empty into the bowl until it is full.
6. Do not be concerned if some spillage or overflow takes place at this stage the wild bird bottle (Tui feeder) has adequate drainage to prevent a build-up of liquid.
7. When the sugar/nectar water in the bowl reaches the opening of the bottle, a vacuum/seal is created and the sugar water will stop flowing.
8. As the bird’s drink or the sugar water begins to evaporate the sugar water in the bottle will be naturally release and refill the dish.

The cork that is supplied with your wild bird bottle feeder (Tui feeder) is used when you are storing sugar water/syrup in the fridge.

• They are shipped between July and January while stocks last.

• We suggest purchasing a minimum of 50 cells to enable good habitation of your Leafcutter bee house.

Creative Woodcraft’s Leafcutter bee houses are purposely designed to accept Leafcutter bee cocoons.

Supplies are limited - ORDER NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT!

Creative Woodcraft is New Zealand's only distributor of Leafcutter bees.

Gardeners often miss out on proper pollination due to lack of bees. Introduce gentle, safe, super-pollinating bees to your gardens.

No protective gear required! Our bees are not aggressive and totally safe around children and pets! and do not have the same upkeep (or cost) as honey bees.

News about Solitary bees is a becoming a hot topic and our leafcutter bees are in high demand. With our educational website www.BeeGAP.co.nz you can quickly learn to raise gentle-natured garden bees.

Our mission is to help gardeners everywhere grow more food and flowers.

Pollination

Leafcutter bees are generalists; meaning they don’t stick to certain blossoms, they like to pollinate whatever they find and like. They pollinate most blooming garden fruit, vegetables and various flowers.

Beyond honey bees, solitary bees have been pollinating our food and flowers around the world for millions of years. They are the original and best pollinators and we’ve chosen to work with a great bee that is a generalist (love all types of flowers), easy-to-raise, gentle, and a superior pollinator.

Our favourite summertime bee is the leafcutter bee, which emerges when the weather starts to reach 24°C. It is a super pollinator that carries pollen dry on their underside which falls off on each flower visited. The honey bee carries pollen wet and sticky on their hind legs, with little pollen falling off.

Observation

Become a leafcutter bee keeper and raise gentle-natured bees.

* Orders for Leafcutter bee cocoons received between January and June are processed as a pre-order and will be shipped during the first few weeks of July.
