If you’re looking for a great gift for garden lovers, design lovers and nature lovers then Bee Brick is for you. 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.

The Bee Brick™ is an innovative nesting site for solitary bees, created to look lovely just stood in your garden, or to 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 garden, allotment or building.

The Bee Brick™ is a simple and stylish way to do something to help our declining bee population and can be simply placed in the garden, built into a wall or retrofitted in a few simple steps.

If you’d like more details about incorporating the Bee Brick™ into an extension, landscape project, new build, retrofit or any other project please contact us for a quote and more info here or drop us a line on 01872 858658 or an email to info@greenandblue.co.uk.

More information

Each Bee Brick™ has 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. The role they play in pollination accounts for around 1/3 of the food we eat and they are therefore 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 squash them, even then their stings are not painful, meaning they are safe to encourage around pets and children.

This is a very good piece of kit, but I would like to see it looking a little bit rougher in texture because it stands out as too uniformly smooth in amongst the other bricks.The back of the brick looks better than the front. I accept that others may disagree, but I could just as easily have drilled a selection of holes in an existing brick... The service from Green and Blue was very good indeed with very welcome nice personalised touches. Thanks Guys!
