including delivery

The Ceramic Bee Nester is a fully functioning nest for Bumble Bees.

Originally made from straw or wicker, this ceramic construction is a modern interpretation of a centuries old design conceived to provide an attractive and functioning wildlife item suitable for any modern garden.

Beautiful in its appearance, it can help provide a safe and dry nesting site for these beneficial garden pollinators. The skep may be used with, or without its base and accordingly is suitable for any paved/patio area or the garden/hedgerow. Use from February onwards.

Locate the skep low, or on the ground in a sheltered position in dappled sunlight, under a hedgerow or adjacent to a wall line is ideal. Ceramic construction gives dry, secure nesting. Bumble Bees are essential garden pollinators.

Attractive design to enhance any patio, garden or wildlife area.

Dimensions - 190x210x210

Bumblebees are a welcome sight in any garden, the sound of their droning as they hover from flower to flower is all part of a summer's day. The UK had 27 species, but sadly 3 are nationally extinct, and others are seriously threatened. The changes to farming practices have had a major impact in the numbers of bumblebees, the actual number of lowland varieties have halved since 1950.

We often just think of bees being present in our gardens but it is in the countryside where their numbers are most prevelant and it is in the countryside where there are now far fewer flowers than there once were. Hedges have been grubbed up and marshes drained. Areas that were natural grassland have given way to fields for cereal growing.
