Solitary bee home

4.5 out of 5

4

Specially designed for two common bee home dwellers; the leafcutter and red mason bees. This high quality bee home comes with removable nesting trays, metal fastenings for secure siting and an overhanging roof to protect bees from the rain. The apex roof is painted (using non-toxic paint) a light sage green and matches the style of some of our most popular bird nest boxes.

We would recommend cleaning the home every 1 to 2 years. You can either clean your home once nests have vacated in Spring, or at the end of the breeding season (late September to October). The trays can be cleaned with a brush and mild, non-toxic disinfectant such as Ark-Klens.

If you are cleaning in late September-October, please carefully remove any bee cocoons present and put these to one side while you clean. These should be kept a dry, sheltered space while you clean the home. Once the bee home is clean and dry, the cocoons can be returned to the nest holes.
