A Bee Brick and Seedbom gift set including a concrete Bee Brick and 2 x Pollinator Beebom Seedboms.
GIVE SOLITARY BEES A CHANCE!
If you’re looking to make more space for nature then the Bee Brick® solitary bee house is for you. Great for garden lovers, design lovers and nature lovers, the Bee Brick® is an innovative nesting site for solitary bees, created to look lovely just standing in your garden, with the innovation that the 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 other cavity-nesting species, 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.
90% of our bee species in the UK are solitary bees, bees who don’t produce honey, don’t have a queen and don’t live in hives, but who are really important pollinators. By putting the Bee Brick® in your garden, allotment or urban space you are helping the solitary bees by providing a bee house nesting place for them so they can continue with the vital pollination work they do.
Solitary bees are fascinating to watch and safe to encourage around children and pets as they are non-aggressive, they have no honey or queen to protect meaning they have nothing to defend.

Spread: We recommend allowing approx 15cm all around the Seedbom for spreading.
Shelf life: For best results we recommend Seedboms are grown within 1 year of purchase.
