This Wildlife World Bee Barrel is handmade in sturdy Timber. This can be very interesting and great for education as the beehive trays can be carefully separated to view the formation of small cells where the eggs are laid.
Stacking trays can be inspected in autumn to winter when the activity has stopped. Additionally, you must protect full bee tubes with mesh to prevent woodpeckers getting to them.
This has specific hole sizes in order to attract non swarming bees such as the Red Mason Bee, the Leafcutter Bee and other solitary bees.
Solitary bees are born pollinators and are beneficial to the pollination of flowers, fruit and vegetables. Furthermore they are friendly as well as being safe for children and pets.
For the best results you should position this in a sunny position between South and South East to catch the morning sun. However, you should mount this between ground level and 1.5m.
