The 'Pollinator Palace' Bee Hotels

Transform your community green spaces into pollinator havens with the 'Pollinator Palace' Bee Hotel Pack. These purpose-built wooden structures provide essential nesting habitat for solitary bees—some of our most effective and endangered pollinators.

Why Solitary Bees Need Our Help

There are over 250 species of solitary bee in the UK, each a vital pollinator for wildflowers, crops, and garden plants. Unlike honeybees, solitary bees do not live in hives; each female needs her own nesting tunnel to raise her young. With natural nesting sites declining due to habitat loss, well-designed bee hotels offer critical reproductive habitat. By installing these hotels alongside your wildflower areas, your council delivers both food and shelter for these essential insects.

Premium Specification

Each hotel is crafted from durable, sustainable timber and filled with a variety of natural nesting materials to attract the widest possible range of solitary bee species.

• Weather-Resistant Construction: Overhanging roof protects nesting tunnels from rain, while untreated timber allows natural ventilation.

• Predator-Deterrent Design: Sufficient depth to nesting tunnels prevents birds from extracting larvae, while the open-front design allows bees to access their nests freely.

Did You Know?

A single red mason bee visiting apple blossom can achieve the same pollination as 120 honeybees. By providing nesting habitat, your council is supporting the most efficient pollinators in nature.
