These types of bees do not swarm, are gregarious and safe around children and pets, they are naturally attracted to the holes in wood. The leafcutter bee house provides a habitat that has become harder for them to find in modern gardens today. The leafcutter bee house can be sited at any time of the year. It will also be used by other species of New Zealand native solitary bees.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct includes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeafcutter bee house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e72 hole inter-locking nesting tray system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSiting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSite the box in a visible warm place ideally to catch the morning sun.
