Shetland Hexagonal Wild Bee House in Sage | Garden Bee Hotel
A rather lovely little address for your garden's busiest residents.
Give solitary bees a welcoming place to shelter and nest with the Shetland Hexagonal Wild Bee House in Sage, a beautifully designed garden accessory that combines wildlife-friendly functionality with contemporary outdoor style.
Inspired by the natural geometry of a honeycomb, its distinctive hexagonal shape looks gorgeous mounted on a garden wall or fence, while the soft sage green finish blends effortlessly amongst planting and greenery.
Designed with the nesting habits of solitary wild bees in mind, the bee house provides a collection of hollow spaces that offer suitable nesting opportunities for species that naturally seek out holes, tunnels and hollow plant stems.
Position your bee house in a sunny, sheltered location, ideally mounted securely on a wall or fence with a clear flight path in front. Avoid placing it behind dense foliage or climbing plants, so visiting bees can easily find their way in and out.
For an even more inviting bee-friendly garden, position it close to nectar-rich flowers and herbs such as lavender, rosemary, thyme, salvia and other pollinator-friendly plants. Then sit back and wait for your new neighbours to discover their rather smart accommodation.
The understated sage finish and sculptural honeycomb shape mean this isn't something you'll want to hide away at the bottom of the garden. It becomes a decorative feature in its own right, looking equally at home in courtyard gardens, cottage gardens and contemporary outdoor spaces.
A thoughtful gift for gardeners, nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts, it's a simple and stylish way to make a little more room for nature at home.
No rent required. Pollination will do nicely.
