Solitary bees play a vital role in pollination, yet many struggle to find safe nesting spaces as natural habitats disappear. This DIY Bee Hotel Kit offers a simple, practical way to support them, while also learning more about how these important pollinators live.
The kit allows you to build a small nesting habitat designed for solitary bee species such as mason bees and leafcutter bees. Unlike honeybees, solitary bees do not live in hives and are gentle, making this an ideal introduction to pollinators for families, schools, and community spaces.
Putting the bee hotel together is straightforward and rewarding. Once built, it can be placed in a sunny, sheltered position in a garden, allotment, school grounds, or community space, where it can be observed throughout the season as bees begin to use it.
At Project Apis CIC, we use products like this to help start conversations about biodiversity, pollinator decline, and how small actions can make a real difference. This kit reflects the same principles we use in our community apiaries, practical learning, environmental awareness, and accessible ways for people to engage with nature.
