DIY Bee Hotel Kit
Build a cosy home for nesting Solitary Bees or send the perfect gift to a wildlife lover.
How much do you know about Solitary Bees? They are non-aggressive and as their name suggests, they don't live in large groups. Sadly they're losing their natural habitat and they need your help.
To help Solitary Bees, construct a bee hotel at home so that the female bees in your garden have a safe place to build their nest and lay their eggs.
The DIY Hotel Kit can be constructed in under 20 minutes and is made in the UK from sustainably sourced Panguaneta poplar plywood.
As the DIY Hotel Kit will fit in a letterbox, they are the perfect gift for friends and a great way to teach children about bees.
Please note this product is not a toy and contains small parts. It is suitable for ages 12yrs +

Why don't we sell to the US?
Due to the recent suspension of the de minimis exemption, we’ve made the decision to temporarily pause all sales to the US. This change impacts how goods are imported and processed, making it challenging to continue offering our usual service to US customers.
We’re actively monitoring the situation and exploring solutions. Once we’re confident we can resume shipping reliably and cost-effectively, we’ll reopen US sales and notify our customers. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
