Bamboo Bee Nesting Tubes 50pk
These specially drilled bamboo tubes are ideal for mason bees, leafcutter bees (Megachile spp.) and other overwintering insects. Use them to top up and existing bee box, or make your own solitary bee nester.
Pack of 50 includes a range of sizes from 5-12mm diameter (sizes 7-10mm are best for solitary bees, but other insects will use smaller and larger sizes).
150mm long.
If you are making your own bee box, ensure that it is well-insulated or bring it into a shed or garage over winter. If you leave the box outside, cover the tubes with wire mesh to prevent predation by greedy woodpeckers and other predators.
From March to August solitary bee species will lay eggs in the tubes and create a series of cells from mud or leaf. The larvae will develop over the winter period in the tubes and will then emerge the following spring.
