Insect Cottage Bee and Bug Home Insect Hotel

Well made although a couple of the tubes fell out they were easily replaced back. Within a minute of putting it up the bees were in and out and at this moment in time all the tubes are 'occupied'. Will get another.

Put this in the wrong spot to start with but after repositioning it a number of bees started using it. Currently has quite a few nests/eggs so does what it's meant to.

Very good indeed.This is the only one I have found where the holes are at the length (13cm - 15cm) which wild life societies recommend.I have dropped a star because these are so over priced (this one is cheaper than many) and because the bamboo is not fixed in place, just jammed in.

I already have 3 of these that are fully occupied so have now got 5.The solitary bees love them, so next year I'll probably need more. BRILLIANT!

I bought 2 of these bee houses and am very pleased with them. They are well made and solid so will last for years. They arrived on time. I am happy to recommend the product and the company and would order again from them. Also pleased to report that the day after putting up bees started to make themselves at home. If you have children (mine now adults) this is a fantastic way to introduce them to nature. You can watch the bees for hours coming and going and know they (children) will be safe as these small bees do not sting.

For the price, it was worth risking.I bought 2 and thankfully mine both arrived in one piece unlike some other buyers.I was a bit disappointed with some of the handy work however as there were pins/staples sticking out through the wood which were not only unsightly but sharp.The metal strip on the roof was sticking up on both of them, which needing tapping down as well, and the nails were bent.My biggest upset however was that the wood is held in place by big metal staples which have gone right through the holes the bees will use, blocking them off.Luckily my other half was able to use a metal rod and hammer to clear them again, but this job took a few minutes and could have easily been done by the person making these to tidy them up so they actually look presentable.Whilst the price is cheap, there are others out there which are equally as cheap and better quality craftsmanship, so I do feel that more effort to hammer nail in straight, remove any sharp bits and also ensure that staples and nails aren’t sticking out is not a big ask.Now we’ve tided them up I’m happy with them but it did take the shine off my excitement when I saw them.We’ve put them up on a south facing wall and hopefully they will have some residents soon. We’ve got bees in our original one now the weather is warming up, so we wanted to add some more for them. I think they look the part and will hopefully provide shelter for bees and their grubs.

Well made, having looked around this one seems good value, plus the bees seem happy, what's not to like.

I ordered this and upon receiving it had a cracked roof and poor quality canes.I tried to contact the seller to no avail.Anyway it’s up and has bees in but will only last til next spring at the most.

Love. Love. Love. This house!!!! I put it up securely, as the home cannot move or tip, else bees will fall out & die. After putting up bee house, I had many nosey prospective bee tenants within the day!!!! :) Set out water within 25' of house. That's how bees find new real estate! :)

My Mason bees have filled over half of my box. So excited.
