Support Ireland’s pollinators with this natural bamboo bee and bug hotel.
The Bamboo Bee and Bug Hotel is a simple yet powerful way to help protect endangered solitary bees and other beneficial insects. Made from hollow bamboo stalks and FSC-certified pine wood, it provides safe nesting tubes and shelter for a range of species — helping you create a thriving, pollinator-friendly garden.
This beautifully crafted bee hotel acts as a magnet for mason bees and other solitary species, offering a place for them to lay eggs and raise their young. Unlike honeybees, solitary bees are non-aggressive and play a vital role in pollinating plants, fruit trees, and wildflowers.
For spring-nesting mason bees, the ideal time to install your bee house is late winter, though it can be set up at any time of year. Position the bee hotel 1–1.5 m above the ground, facing south or southeast, where it will receive plenty of warmth and sunlight.
Pair it with our Butterfly & Bee Wildflower Seeds to create a complete pollinator habitat and enjoy watching these fascinating creatures as they thrive in your garden.
