Wildlife Homes

Groovy Bee Box

There are over 200 species of solitary bees in the UK and most are useful pollinators in the garden.

This natural wooden home provides an artificial nesting site for wild bees, there are holes of various sizes to encourage different species to lay their eggs. Bees will be active from early spring with eggs being laid in the holes and the larvae will develop over the winter and then emerge as adult bees in the next spring. Once in use bees may come back to the same home year after year.

The box needs to be about 1-2 m above the ground in a sheltered site, ideally catching some morning sun, a nectar source nearby may help but is not critical as they can forage widely and take a diverse range of pollen.

Every garden should have one and an ideal gift for the wildlife lover.

Groovy Bug Box

Our bug boxes provide an ideal habitat for the useful predators in your gardens, they might be used for shelter,  laying eggs or hibernating. We hope they will encourage and build populations of, for example; spiders, ladybirds, lacewings, solitary bees and wasps. They need to be sited in a quiet area of the garden safe from predators such as birds, snakes or rats, ideally away from direct rain or strong winds. Try fixing to a tree or shed and check the contents, if they are empty try a different position.
