Product Description
Encouraging Red Mason bees into the garden with a nesting box should help you get bumper crops of fruit and vegetables. This novel nesting box has a galvanized metal pitched roof and is packed with pieces of bamboo that provide the ideal nesting site. Made from FSC wood.
The 'solitary' bee species that use these nests won't swarm and the females will only sting if very roughly handled - the males cannot sting at all.
Try to position your nesting box so that it gets lots of sun and angle it slightly so the water will not soak into the nesting holes every time it rains. You can attach it to a tree, fence or post (it is shown with an optional shepherds hook, which is available separately) close to a flowerbed or anywhere you think a bee might like to forage.
Size: 15cm wide x 12cm deep x 20.5cm high

I ordered this expecting it to arrive looking as the photo and was slightly disconcerted to find that it arrived painted pale green. It wasn't a huge problem, the person I bought it for happens to like pale green, but had it been for myself I would have much preferred a plain wooden box and been disappointed to get a green one.

This is a very neat item, well made and with good quality materials. It is a delightful compromise for those of us who would like to keep beehives but cannot! Every little helps!

I'm very pleased with this item, unfortunately the bees seem to have packed up and gone on holiday somewhere. I hope that when they come back they will move into this des res. It is very well made and looks attractive in the garden. A good buy.reviewed by Sherrie Lowe, author of Song Of The Phoenix
