Solitary Beehive

You may want to help your flowering fruit trees and gardens by providing a comfy home to local Mason bees. 

The solitary Mason bees are great early spring pollinators, aren’t feisty and make their nest out of mud. 

This handmade bee house is designed to hang from a wall, fence or tree. 

We can all use a little more pollination!! 

This unique solitary beehive is designed specifically to attract non-swarming bees like the Mason bee. 

These types of bees do not swarm, are gregarious and safe around children and pets, they are naturally attracted to the holes in wood and the Solitary Bee Hive provides a habitat that has become harder for them to find in modern gardens today. 

********************* 
The solitary beehive can be sited at any time of the year. When the bees aren't using it other beneficial insects will use it for overwintering in.

Positioning 

Site the box in a visible warm place ideally to catch the morning sun. It is helpful to have soil nearby and food sources such as flowers, fruit trees, etc. 

Attach to trees, pergolas, fences etc.. in a sheltered position. 

Although these bees do not swarm they are gregarious and once the box is used, occupation will increase in the following years. (Increasing Pollination!) of fruit trees, flower gardens and vegetable gardens. 

Because of the solid timber construction and insulation value, the beehive will not need to be taken inside in winter. 

Measures 15cm wide x 20cm high x 18cm deep. 

Finished with a natural linseed oil and roof treated with oil based preservative (forest green) 

*This includes a rope so it can be hung.*
