South Africa has more than 1200 different bee species, the vast majority of which are solitary bees. Like so many things in nature, they too are under threat as a result of declining habitat, use of insecticides and a host of other reasons. These hand crafted wooden bee hotels, placed in a sheltered spot in your garden, on a patio or under the eaves of your roof, will provide the ideal nesting site for these master pollinators. Solitary bees do not sting. The hotels will not attract the swarming, stinging African and Cape honey bees. The purchase of one or more of these hotels, either for your own use or as a wonderful gift, will make an invaluable contribution towards these remarkable creatures fight for survival.
