Nafne Free Standing Bumblebee House

Here is a beautiful handmade wooden habitat to encourage the nesting of bumblebees in your garden. This bumblebee house is just the right size. Made from naturally durable timber which is strongly jointed. This, therefore, provides a nice dry home for bumblebees. The sliding lid is made of recycled agricultural plastic. This allows you to have a look inside the box to observe the colony. The Queen bumblebee spends her winter alone underground. When she emerges in Springtime she is looking for a new home in which to start her new bumblebee colony. The front of the bumblebee nester features a bright yellow surface in contrast with the dark nesting hole and entrance ramp. Queen bumblebees often make their colony after a mouse has nested. So if you attract a mouse in year one, this is good news and will make the box more attractive to a queen bumblebee in year 2. Be sure to leave the mouse nest in place.
