I absolutely love creating unique one of a kind bee homes!
Why do bees need homes?!
We all know bees need flowers, but like us, bees also need a place to rest their heads at night! Okay - not exactly like that - but what a cute thought! Over 20% of bees in Canada are what we call stem or cavity nesters. In nature they would gravitate towards openings that fit their larvae well, such as cut plant stems, or wood pecker holes in dead trees...which we don't really see a ton of in the city! Having a bee home ensures they have somewhere safe to nest that also meets all the requirements to help the population continue to grow.
What makes my homes different than others on Amazon?
Besides the love and care that goes into each home, they are also created with the bee in mind. The nesting tubes are the preferred size for native Mason bees, and they are removable. This means that they are very easy to care for, and help reduce disease. The tubes are also paper, not plastic, which the bees and earth prefer. The homes are also decorated to a bees taste! By this I mean that bees like to orient to their nests so that they know where they live - and my designs make it easier for them to do that.
