Experience the fascinating world of bees with this beautiful Bee Nester by Wildlife World.
You can help the conservation of our native bees by simply hanging this bee house in your garden. Then sit back and watch the fascinating life cycle of your new pollinating team.
Our precious pollinators need somewhere safe to lay their eggs. Your bee nester provides the perfect place for the female bees to construct their egg cells, which develop into bee larvae and finally emerge in Spring as the new generation of bees.
If you need new tubes, check out the Eco Bee Nesting Tubes.

Also available in Jekka’s Pollinating Gardeners Gift Box; the perfect gift.
Hang the Bee Nester in a sheltered spot in your garden. A good spot should have nectar plants and a water source nearby. Once your nester is filled use the perforated lid as a predator guard to protect the open ends of the card nesting tubes over winter.

Like Jekka’s, Wildlife World is a small independent business not too far from us, based in Tetbury in Gloucestershire.
Wildlife World are the UK’s leading designer and manufacturer of wildlife friendly products for the garden. They have won a total of eleven new product development, environmental and design awards for their beautifully made bee hives and products.
Their UK Workshop's wooden products are exclusively manufactured from FSC® certified timber. They use many naturally durable timbers which require more complex drying time but eliminates the need for chemical preservatives, which we totally agree with! Furthermore, their products are only treated with water-based stains and paints and they use recycled materials in place of plastic and metals where they can.
By buying Wildlife World products you are helping them support a huge range of environmental and wildlife projects. These include the Bumble Bee Conservation Trust, British Hedgehog Preservation Society, International Bee Research Association, The Centre for Alternative Technology, and other Wildlife Rescue Centres.
Following our root of being ‘green, environmentally friendly and sustainable', we use eco-kraft boxes that are FSC approved and do not use any plastic in the posting of our products.
