Fraudsters
Caution purely commercial interests
www.wildbee.ch/vorsicht
Since 2017, the company has also newly established a German subsidiary, Pollinature. Based in Constance, of all places, where a long-time competitor is located. On the new website, one searches in vain for information on the subject of pesticides.
On Jan. 19, 2018, the company shocked its patrons with a newsletter in which it informed them that, contrary to earlier communication, "care" would now cost CHF 25. With this, it obviously wants to part with the private individuals who supplied the "raw material" mason bees and are no longer relevant for the company, as the stick is now big enough.
Exposing is the fact that the godparents are only charged the costs, but not the earnings from the mason bees, which are "harvested" by the submission and resold to farmers.
The godparents and godfathers are no longer relevant for the company and are now left sitting on the one-sided beehomes.
What you can do:
Please do not support this system
Also inform others and tell what the company does not inform about
Unfortunately, if you had already purchased a BeeHome, please do not return your mason bees. Add more diameters and other materials to your nesting box to make it more diverse and exciting.
As a farmer, promote wild bee-friendly habitats and, in turn, a variety of beneficial insects.
You can build artificial nesting aids yourself much more cheaply, and the information is freely available.
Do not become dependent on a questionable and overpriced offer, but inform yourself about the exciting wild pollinators beyond the mason bees.
Help us to provide REAL wild bee conservation -
because wild bees desperately need real help.
Thank you very much!

Extremely disappointing! - Attention purely commercial concept that has no non-profit aspect.
I bought two and was initially very happy about it, as I believed the marketing tricks regarding sustainability and bee promotion. But beware! The motivations of the sellers are purely commercial.
The returned cocoons are sold to fruit farmers. Since the bees have a flight radius of only about 300 metres, they cannot get to any other nesting sites and are artificially forced into these places with pesticides. In addition, when the beehome is returned, other species that are undesirable to the sellers are killed.
Please do not make the same mistake and read this page before buying: wildbee.ch/caution
If you want to help wild bees, you can easily build artificial nesting aids yourself at a much lower price and thus help!
I have now added more nesting aids to my Beehomes and no longer send the mason bees back.- Anonymous

No ecological added value
No ecological added value, at most an economic one for Bee + Partner and fruit farming: www.wildbee.ch/vorsicht
