We Need the Bees!
With over 90% of our food requiring pollination, we need to help the bees.
Solitary, native bees can be found throughout the world and in each location they will find a tunnel nest to lay their eggs, usually an abandoned beetle hole. Our SoloBee shelters mimic a wood cavity in nature and provide a clean, safe nests site for each bee. By keeping the tunnel clean after each use you will encourage bees to return year after year. To clean each tunnel simply re-drill the tunnel or purchase a replacement block from us.
Our shelter is endorsed by native bee experts and entomologist. The replacement nest block system guarantees that bees have a clean, safe nesting site year after year.
