Bumblebees are known to be peaceful and hard -working beneficial insects in the garden. Since they start pollinating ornamental and useful plants very early in the year, their work is particularly valuable for any gardener. From around March onwards, it is worth setting up the bumblebee nesting box outside so that the animals can start working. It is protected from rain and snow by red bitumen roofing felt. The feet of the bumblebee box also prevent the interior from cooling down above the ground and preventing moisture from damaging the nesting aid. In addition, the nesting box has a wax moth flap that protects the bumblebee nest from the pests. Further features of the nesting box are a lockable entrance with a running tube, a hinged roof and air holes on the side. The preparation for the successful settling of a bumblebee colony is very easy, as the bumblebee box is pre -assembled and natural sheep's wool is included as filling material. Since the annual bumblebee colonies die in autumn, the bumblebee box should be stored dry in winter and the filling material replaced so that it can be populated again next spring.
