Encourage bees, insects, birds and wildlife
into your garden......This small double chambered
insect habitat (top varying size canes - bottom solid bored timber) is ideal
for hanging in a sheltered garden or house wall or orchard. This is a general
insect habitat.
The
holes may be used by solitary bees such as Mason Bees or Leafcutter Bees,
which are non aggressive and excellent for pollinating in the garden,
helping to increase fruit yields. The durable roof and solid timber
construction give excellent insulation for over wintering Ladybirds and
Lacewings. Site using back hanger or central hanging chain if preferred in a
sheltered spot, preferably to catch the morning sun.
Size: H 13.5cm, W 11cm, D 21cm
Bee Hive
This solitary beehive is designed specifically to attract
non-swarming bees like the Red Mason Bee. These bees are naturally
attracted to the holes in wood and this beehive provides the perfect habitat
that has become harder to find in modern gardens.
This
bee hive is made with durable timber roof and base, with two stainless steel
bolts running through the nesting trays. You can easily dismantle the
beehive to view where the eggs are laid.
This system also allows for easy cleaning of the beehive
which is recommended annually. This beehive makes a great present for someone
who is keen to learn about bees. Site the box in a position that catches
the warmth of the morning sun. Bees will use the hive from late
February, but other beneficial insects will use it for overwintering.
Red mason bees are non-swarming, are gentle and safe around the garden, and
are excellent pollinators helping to increase fruit and vegetable yields.
Size of the beehive: Height 19cm, Width 18cm, Depth
The Solar Insect Theatre is a neat little insect habitat.
The Insect Theatre uses a solar powered light, which comes on automatically at
dusk, to attract moths, lacewings and butterflies into an attractive theatre
for you to watch them in and a wonderful habitat for the insects. The light
then turns off at dawn leaving the insects in the theatre.
There is an access door in the base, where branches or plant material can be
added or insects removed to study.
The theatre is designed to be similar to a natural habitat, attractive to
insects, though there are holes for them to exit as and when they please.
Constructed from durable FSC timber this product is produced under the Climate
Care scheme, with batteries included, simply position the theatre and wait.
The timber on the theatres is rough-finished.
