National Trust Apex Bee & Insect House

Create a welcoming habitat for beneficial insects with the National Trust Apex Bee & Insect House. Beautifully designed for gardens, balconies and outdoor spaces, this attractive insect house provides a safe shelter for a variety of helpful species, including solitary bees, which use the bamboo tubes as nesting sites for their eggs. Unlike honeybees, solitary bees are a non-stinging species and play an important role in pollinating plants.

Encouraging insects into your garden helps support a healthy and balanced ecosystem. Species such as ladybirds and lacewings help naturally control aphids, while bees provide an essential pollination service for flowers, fruit and vegetables. Simply position the insect house in a sheltered location, ideally amongst vegetation, or hang it from a secure nail no higher than 2 metres from the ground. Made from responsibly sourced FSC® materials, it is a practical and attractive addition to any wildlife-friendly garden.
