Esschert Design Large Bee House
Support gentle native pollinators and boost your garden harvest with the Esschert Design Large Bee House. Many bees, including mason, horn-faced, and orchard bees, are quite mild mannered and solitary, and also provide excellent pollination in your garden. These bees tend to nest in holes, and this home offers a bevy of locations for them. The varied sizes of openings provide appropriate housing for a few different species, while the pine body enhances the natural appeal. The pitched roof protects the openings from the elements, and its metal top adds a bit of design and style to the unit.

Placement Tips
Hang your bee house on a fence, wall or post 3 to 6 feet off the ground facing east or southeast so it catches morning sun. Place it near flowering plants and a source of mud, which mason bees use to seal their nesting tubes. Keep it sheltered from heavy rain, and replace or clean the tubes each year.
