Details

Our cardboard solitary bee nesting tubes are a safe and renewable solution to everyone wanting to help our solitary bees and pollinators. They are perfect for garden enthusiasts and wildlife lovers alike. Made from sustainable card, they arrive in consistent diameter and depth, and have no sharp edges, like badly cut bamboo ensures rapid and complete uptake. From March through August, witness the incredible lifecycle as female bees carefully create their nurseries, laying eggs in specialised cells within the tubes. These safe havens protect developing larvae through winter, ready for the next generation to emerge in spring.

Supplied as loose bundles of tubes, they can be used to replace used tubes in existing solitary bee houses, or used to create home made houses.

These specially designed tubes create the ideal home for gentle mason and orchard bees - nature's star pollinators who are completely safe around children and pets. Unlike honey bees, these solitary workers are naturally peaceful, with no hive to defend.

Q: Do solitary bees sting?

A: Solitary bees are generally very gentle and rarely sting. Unlike honeybees and bumblebees, solitary bees do not have large colonies to defend, so they are less likely to exhibit aggressive behaviour.

When solitary bees do sting, it's usually in self-defense. However, their stings are typically mild and often go unnoticed. In fact, many solitary bees are so small that their stings can't even penetrate human skin.

These bees are crucial pollinators and are generally very peaceful, making them great companions for gardeners and nature enthusiasts.

Q: How do solitary bees differ from honeybees and bumblebees?

A: Solitary bees do not live in colonies. Each female builds and provisions her own nest without the help of other bees and there is no division of labour. Every female is a queen and a worker rolled into one.

Q: How can I help solitary bees?

A: You can help solitary bees by planting a variety of flowers that bloom at different times of the year, providing nesting sites like bee hotels, and avoiding the use of pesticides in your garden.
