Welcome solitary bees into your garden and experience their pollinating powers with this DIY Bee Hotel Kit, designed in-house by architectural technician and bee enthusiast Jacob Powell
Made in the UK from sustainably sourced panguaneta poplar wood, this kit is designed to be posted through your letterbox and constructed at home to provide a safe space for female solitary bees to build nests and lay their eggs.
Solitary bees are a joy to watch and are non-aggressive, therefore child and pet-friendly. They don’t live in colonies (unlike bumblebees and honey bees) and are facing a crisis having lost much of their natural habitat – they need your help!
Gift to an animal, nature or bee-loving friend.
The perfect gift to introduce others to the world of solitary bees via letter box, suitable for small or large outdoor spaces, to position on a wall, balcony, courtyard, beside a windowsill or community garden. We offer an additional bee-spoke service to personalize your kit by engraving a family name or small message to the front of your bee hotel PLEASE SELECT: Custom engraving? Yes, please!
Each kit is manufactured in the UK, engraved and shipped from our Devon-based studio.
