Insect hotel Bee house Green

Bee house with zinc roof. Each solitary bee needs a different size hole (or tube). The mason bee chooses a diameter between 3 and 7 mm, while the masked bee prefers 2 to 4 mm. A female bee makes several cells in a deep wooden hole, each containing an egg and some pollen and nectar for the larva. Wild bees cover their nests with clay. Several factors must be considered when choosing the location of the bee house. Choose a sunny spot, sheltered from wind and rain. Ensure the entrances at the front are clearly visible to the bees. It is beneficial if there is clay, sand, and water nearby. Native herbs, flowers rich in pollen, shrubs, and trees in the vicinity will also provide food. All of this will ensure your bee house is fully booked. Besides the honeybee, Europe has many hundreds of other bee species. These rarely stinging bees help pollinate the flowers and plants in your garden. Due to the decline in flora and nesting opportunities, many species are threatened. This bee house offers excellent nesting opportunities for various bee species. Dimensions: 15.2x12.7x20.0 cm
