Watch the bees! – new Orchard Solitary Bee Observation Nest Box  ” Inspired by nature, driven by science”

All Nurturing Nature solitary bee observation nest boxes have been designed to provide optimal nesting requirements, optimal bee management and optimal educational opportunities.

Passionate about environmental education, this new product was designed after the huge success of the single solitary bee observation nest box and several requests for a larger version.

These male red mason bees are waiting for the females to emerge, spending cooler days and nights inside, patiently!

Greatly increase your pollinating solitary bee numbers

This design, with correct management, has the potential to greatly increase the number of cavity-nesting solitary bees in your garden. It is also ideal for larger gardens, orchards, allotments, soft fruit growers, nature reserves, schools, and anywhere else that would like to increase their solitary bee population or educate people.

This prototype nest box had all of the available nest cavities in use and was full at the end of the breeding season.

Watch as the bees work hard inside the nesting cavities. Numerous observational studies can be made along with other areas of the National Curriculum and can offer interesting research opportunities.
