What Are Solitary Bees?

  • Solitary bees are not swarming bees like honeybees & bumble bees
  • 90% of bees are solitary bees
  • The solitary bee does not make a nest, have a queen or make honey
  • They are essential in pollination
  • One solitary bee is the equivalent to 120 honeybees at pollination
A really charming little bee house. Looking forward to have solitary bees making it their home
Delighted with the 'Bee House' - it is very well made and sits perfectly in its sheltered spot. Fingers crossed that the bees like it as much as we do!
Thank you very much for the prompt delivery.
