Bumble bees are known as peaceful and hardworking beneficial insects in the garden. Since they start pollinating ornamental and crop plants very early in the year, your work is particularly valuable for every gardener. From about March, it is worth placing the bumble bee box outside so that the animals can start work. The large bumble bee box is made of robust multiplex plywood (thickness: 12 mm). It is protected from rain and snow by red bitumen roofing felt. The feet of the bumble bee box also prevent the box from cooling down over the floor and moisture damaging the nesting aid. Other features of the nesting cave include a lockable entrance with running tube, a hinged roof and air holes on the side. Preparing for the successful settlement of a bumblebee folk is very simple, as the bumblebee box is pre-assembled and suitable filling material is included. First, the inner box in the bumblebee box must be filled with small animal litter up to the bottom edge of the running tube.

As the annual bumblebee people die off in autumn, the bumblebee box should be stored dry in winter and the filling material should be replaced so that it can be resettled next spring. The bumble bee box is approx. 51 x 43 x 36 cm (L x W x H) and weighs approx. 7.5kg
