Wildlife World BEVSB Ltd Mason Bee Hive, Standard Size, Sea Green

Description

The Mason Bee Hive is designed to provide a home for pollinating bees and beneficial insects in your yard or garden. Pollinating bees such as Mason Bees and Orchard Bees provide invaluable pollination services to mankind, pollinating flowers, fruit and vegetables. These bees are safe around children and pets as they do not live in colonies, nor do they have stores of honey to defend. They just go quietly about their business not disturbing anyone. The drilled holes in the solid wooden Mason Bee Hive allows somewhere safe for the female mason bee to lay her eggs, so her larvae can survive over-winter and emerge in Spring time as adult bees. It is fascinating to watch them filling the tubes during Spring / Early Summer. Mason bees ‘cap off’ the bee cells using mud. The Bee Hive can be managed and cleaned seasonally by inserting rolled parchment paper into each tube hole prior to mounting or hanging in your yard or garden. The Bee Hive is beautifully constructed from FSC timber and the body is painted with a water-based sea green paint. It is topped with a natural lapped wooden roof which keeps the house dry and protected. The Bee Hive can be hung using the hook on the back or stood firmly on a wall or ledge. Ideal height is between ground level and 1.5m in a sunny sheltered spot. The Bee Hive should be orientated to get some morning and afternoon sun.
