Light Wood Beekeeping

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.

The insect hotel kit offers you the opportunity to plant various wild bees and many other beneficial insects directly in your garden. Against the background of changing landscapes with fewer and fewer natural nesting sites and the associated reduction in insect diversity, you can make a valuable contribution to nature conservation. In addition, your garden also benefits from the small residents of the nesting aid, which excel at pollinating your plants and controlling pests. With the drill holes in the back wall, it is also possible to hang the insect house on trees and house walls. The beehive is made of robust pine wood (Pinus sylvestris, main type of wood) from European forestry, which can be assembled quickly and easily thanks to the practical plug-in system. In addition to a PONAL wood glue bottle, the kit contains high-quality natural filling materials such as reed stalks, pine cones, wood wool and pieces of branch. The nesting holes in the branch pieces must be drilled, useful tips can be found in the detailed, illustrated assembly instructions.
