Product Information

Pesticides are another killer. The easiest way to tell if a bee has been poisoned is when its tongue is hanging out. It's not a nice image, but if your attempts at bee revival aren't working, know that there is nothing you can do at this point. Sadly, bees die all the time. A honey bee colony can lose thousands of its workers each day. Summing Up In the rare case that he looks heavy-laden with mites, you can brush some off with a delicate paintbrush. You can see what bumblebee mites look like on the video below, thanks to our community member Daisy Tate. 4 ) The Bees That Buzz No More Most designs are temporary so in the winter months, between October and February we recommend carefully moving your bee hotel into a garden shed or outer building. Somewhere dry and cool for protection from the elements. The rain is their adversary and they need to be protected from the persistent heavy rain in the winter - rather than the cold. Plant bee-friendly flowers underneath your hotel to give them a nearby food source. We suggest planting a variety of flowers and plants which will provide pollen and nectar throughout the year. Seedballs are native and sourced in the UK, made from clay, peat-free compost, chilli powder and contain wildflower seeds.

Dell’s support also came in handy when it came time for Beevive to expand beyond their first product. From the initial bee revival capsule, Beevive branched out into new offerings including wildflower seedballs, which attract pollinators, and a “ bee hotel”—a structure that sits in a garden or yard and provides sanctuary for solitary bees, which Faye calls the “unsung heroes of the pollinator world.” If he hasn't changed his behaviour after a little while, you can revive the bee. Offer him a drop or two of sugar solution from your keyring or mix 50/50 white sugar and water yourself. Making up your own bees sugar water is fine, but our keyrings use ambrosia®, which is a ready-to-use specialist sugar water for bees and used in professional bee-keeping. Unlike white sugar, ambrosia's high sugar concentration makes it resistant to spoiling from microbiological effects and can last longer to save multiple bees.Keep an eye out for any guests who are not welcome like the fly Cacoxenus indigator (below) whose larvae eat the stored pollen and bee larvae.

Thank you to the Escape to the Country crew for helping us to spread the word about how important pollinators are to the health of our planet! 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 🐝 You do need to have a little patience. The average bee resting time is about 30 minutes. Give it time and if she doesn't take it, she either can't or doesn't want it. 5) Offer a Sugar Solution Maintenance of your bee hotel is crucial. Please do not install your bee hotel and forget about it! It is essential for the health of the bees who reside there, but it will also extend the life of the bee hotel itself. In a natural environment the tunnels would not be so close together therefore pests and mould may spread more easily. Give the gift of saving the bees with our personalisation service!

Remember that they are not pets and if you do help a bee out, keep your interactions short to let nature take its course too.
