Bug Box

This individually hand made Snug-as-a-bug box is a lovely piece of kit for solitary bees and over-wintering invertebrates. Position in a relatively secluded sunny site, 4 to 7 feet above the ground, and it will attract a healthy population of helpful insects including lacewings and ladybirds.

This attractive box is approximately 420 X 305 X 80mm, and has a metal grill over its lower section to stop woodpeckers and other predators making a nuisance of themselves. Its case is made out of durable western red cedar, which will not need treating with potentially harmful chemicals, and each box is made in a small workshop in Dorset. Because they're hand made the illustration won't exactly match your own bug box.

We donate half of our profit from sales of bug boxes to the invertebrate charity Buglife
