Wildbiene BeeHome Observer
BeeProduct details
Without bees, a third of our food would disappear, as most plants only thrive if their flowers are pollinated. Our native wild or mason bees are unbeatable pollinators that are completely harmless as they do not sting and have no interest in sweet drinks or food. A single female pollinates around 40,000 flowers, making them up to 300 times more efficient than a honeybee. This makes wild bees ideal for improving the precarious pollination situation in agriculture.
With a BeeHome, you can actively contribute to the reproduction of native wild bees at home. At the same time, you can observe these industrious creatures at close range and let a sea of colour bloom in your garden. The six additional nesting tubes make this model particularly suitable for schools or families with children. As a wild bee keeper, you will receive a starting population of 25 mason bee cocoons for the BeeHome wild bee house. Voucher
for a free wild bee starter population redeemable in spring via MyBeeHome.
The BeeHome can be hung on a city balcony, in a detached house or in an allotment garden. In spring, the wild bees hatch, pollinate the surrounding plants and multiply. They build their nests in the BeeHome and collect pollen and nectar for their offspring. When the nests are ready, the bees seal them with clay. In autumn, the bees begin their hibernation and can be easily transported. You can send the inner box with the cocoons back to Wildbiene + Partner. These are cultivated, professionally overwintered and used by farmers to pollinate fruit and berries the following spring. Wildbiene + Partner will return the renovated inner box to you and you will receive a new starting population in the spring.
