Esschert Design Bee house in gift box 16x15.5x22cm

In addition to the honey bee, Europe has hundreds of other bee species. These bees are very important in the pollination of flowers and plants. Whether wild plants, food crops, fruit trees or ornamental plants in the garden, 80% depend on insects for their fruit and seed formation. Many wild bee species are threatened by the decline in flora and nesting sites. This bee house is equipped with bamboo straws with different diameters so that various types of wild bees can nest here. A female bee makes several cells in a bamboo straw with an egg and some pollen and nectar for the larva. Hang this bee house in a sunny, south-facing spot. Before the bee house is hung, it is advisable to wipe the bamboo straws clean with the supplied brush. Bees like tight corridors. *15 mm thick walls that provide perfect insulation * Slanted roof so that the water drains easily * Overhanging roof protects against wind and rain
