The addition of a solitary bee house or hotel can attract bees to your garden to nest and return year after year. The ideal site to place your solitary bee house is well above the ground in a warm, south-facing position, ideally, near plenty of nectar-rich flowers, plants and trees. To attract solitary bees to your garden, you should include flowering plants to provide nectar and pollen. Our selected range of native wildflower species is ideal for pollinating bees in our Plants for Wildlife category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWildlife World has been studying the solitary bee for 15 years.

Our new Dewdrop Bee & Bug hotel provides nesting tubes for solitary bees & shelter for other beneficial insects in your garden. Solitary bees are wonderful pollinators of fruit, veg and flowers in your garden, and as they don’t live in colonies or make honey, they are non-aggressive and safe around pets and children.
The Dewdrop Bee & Bug Hotel is made from FSC-certified timber with a decorative woven bamboo finish around the Dewdrop's sides. The centre contains bamboo nesting tubes & a pretty aqua-blue drilled log ideal for solitary bee nesting. The paint may be topped up with a water-based shade to maintain its appearance. No chemicals have been used in the construction of this habitat.
The Dewdrop Butterfly/Insect habitat should be hung in a sheltered sunny position, preferably catching some early morning sun which will warm the emerging adult bees when they hatch out in Springtime.
