Build your own home for solitary bees or gift to a nature lover in your life!
Welcome solitary bees into your garden and experience their pollinating powers with this DIY Bee Hotel Kit, designed in-house by Architectural Technician and bee enthusiast Jacob Powell 🐝
Made in the UK from sustainably sourced panguaneta poplar wood, this kit is designed to be posted through your letterbox and constructed at home to provide a safe space for female solitary bees to build nests and lay their eggs.
Solitary bees are a joy to watch and are non-aggressive, therefore child and pet friendly. They don't live in colonies (unlike bumblebees and honey bees) and are facing a crisis having lost much of their natural habitat - they need your help!
Learn more about the types of bees that could take residence in your bee hotel.
Gift to an animal, nature or bee-loving friend
The perfect gift to introduce others to the world of solitary bees via letter box, suitable for small or large outdoor spaces, to position on a wall, balcony, courtyard, beside a windowsill or community garden. We offer an additional bee-spoke service to personalize your kit by engraving a family name or small message to the front of your bee hotel ✍
Each kit is manufactured in the UK, engraved and shipped from our Devon based studio.

Customer Reviews
Really neat product, went together easily and sits on the wall neatly. Only criticism is the joints on the back make it stick out from the wall, which means it can't sit flush to the wall.
Well made, easy to follow instructions, looks good. Already to go outside in the Spring.
Such a cute concept and really easy to build in less than 5 minutes.
We’ve placed it above our planter beds so bees can easily find it! Thinking of getting a few more around the garden to make it a proper bee sanctuary
It says it should be secure but there’s only one screw?
Bought as a present. Quick to construct and erect. Recipient delighted with it. Sits above a collection of bee loving salvias so now we're waiting for bees to check in.
