If you’re looking for a great gift for garden lovers, design lovers and nature lovers then the Bee Brick bee house is for you. An innovative nesting site for solitary bees, created to look lovely just stood in your garden, the Bee Brick can also be used in place of a standard brick in construction, creating more habitat for non-swarming solitary bees. The Bee Brick provides a stylish nesting site for red mason and leafcutter bees, amongst others, and makes a real design statement in any bee friendly garden, allotment or building.

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.

Bee houses can be a simple way to do something to help our declining bee population, alongside bee friendly planting and other wildlife friendly measures.

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.

Beautifully designed

This was my second order from Green & Blue. The bricks are a great habitat for our solitary bees and they also look amazing together. I only wish I had more south facing areas!! I am working on it!
