Know before you buy
No, solitary bees are non-aggressive and generally lack the defensive instinct to sting, making them safe to have around children and pets.
Mount the house in a sunny, south-facing location to provide the warmth these bees need to thrive. It should be placed on a flat surface or post, ideally near flowering plants to encourage activity.
The house is designed for low maintenance, but it is helpful to keep the area clear of debris. Because solitary bees nest in individual tunnels, they do not require the same complex hive management as honeybees.
The tunnels are specifically sized for solitary bees. While nature is unpredictable, the design is not intended to accommodate social wasps or hornets.
The Little Bee Home is crafted from durable pinewood built for outdoor use. To extend its lifespan, you may choose to place it in a spot sheltered from heavy, direct rainfall.
