“When people think of bees, they think of honeybees, but there are over 250 species of wild bee which are absolutely essential to the pollination our flowers,fruit and vegetables. Their natural habitats are declining, so by providing them with safe and comfortable places to nest in means we can better help them to help us”
The Wild Bee Boxes, made in Britain, have 2 unique large viewing panels that allow you to safely follow the life-cycle of the bees with minimal disturbance to the animals. This makes the nest boxes ideal for schools, homes and environment centres.

0)00?how can I buy one of your solitary bee boxes the one on the brick
Email me via the contact form please.
I also had trouble getting onto your site last night with errors flagging up.
I decided it was because of the large amount of traffic after one of your solitary bee boxes was shown on the BBC’s springwatch programme. I kept trying & eventually got an order in….. Can’t wait.
I already have many bees nesting in shop bought bee nests & an old log in my garden but your boxes look amazing.
Many thanks George.
It was tremendous Gary. I’m out of stock. With more on order. Thanks, George
I bought one of your solitary bee nest boxes and was doubtful as to how successful I would be. The very day after I attached it to the fence, I considered moving it to another site, but, as I went to lift it down, a couple of bees flew out – they’d already started nesting! Since then I’m hooked. I go out in the evening to check and it’s fascinating watching the busy bees fly in with leaves and petals to seal the entrances. Amazing!
Thank you Penny. I have done that myself!! It just shows that although you got you next box mid July it’s well worth putting one out cheers George
I have been given one of your bee boxes and want to treat it so it won’t rot for many years. Can you tell me what would be safe to use for the bees?
