Solitary bees are fascinating to watch and a wonderful way to introduce kids to bees, solitary bees have no queen or honey to protect, meaning they are non-aggressive and won’t sting.

More information

Bee Brick™ is solid at the back and has moulded cavities where the bees will lay their eggs, sealing the entrance with mud or chewed up vegetation. Offspring emerge in the Spring and begin the process of nesting again, repeating the cycle.

Solitary bees are facing a dramatic decline in numbers due to disease, an increase in chemical use and habitat loss. Pollinators account for 1/3 of the food we eat and are a vital part of our environment. The Bee Brick™ can be used in urban spaces and places where there may not be alternative nesting sites for bees, either built into a wall or building or simply stood alone in a garden or allotment. Solitary bees are harmless and will not sting you unless you handle them roughly, even then their stings are not painful, meaning they are safe to encourage around pets and children.

Bee Brick

Purchased two Bee Bricks to incorporate in to my new build. I was impressed with the whole process, super website, easy ordering and quick postage. I also really liked the wee personal note included! Will definitely buy more from you when my garden is complete.

What's not to like?

I am very pleased with the Bee Brick I bought to go in my garden when it is renovated later this month and may well buy a couple more. I hope it/they will be incorporated in a rebuilt retaining wall. A great find!

Bricking good...

This is the 4th brick I have purchased and on this occasion a present for my parents. Be it in the garden, a new build or an extension it is a great gift and of course protects our beloved bees.

Excellent company, ethos, products and service

Cannot recommend buying from G&B enough. Love them so much we buy products as gifts for our customers which equally love them.
