Bienenstein wave

Beestone, Solitary Bee and Insect Hotel "Wave"

(Wooden disc is a mounting idea and not included!)

This practical nesting aid for solitary bees and insects, made from fired natural clay, is particularly durable and long-lasting. Especially when compared to nesting aids made of wood and similar materials. The clay is fired at 950°C - this ensures that the ceramic remains porous enough for an insect nesting aid.

In addition to its exceptional, naturally abstract design, a special feature of this beestone is that the depth of the nesting tunnels is up to 10 cm. Most beestones are unfortunately much shallower. Many solitary bee species prefer deeper nesting tunnels between 8-10 cm!

Ideal for over 20 different solitary bee and wasp species. The corresponding antagonists such as fruit flies, cuckoo, clubbed, and ichneumon wasps (enemies of aphids!) will also inevitably settle in. Created according to the specifications and recommendations of bee professionals.

approx. 140 - 160 nesting tunnels

Diameter 2 – 10 mm

Depth 4 – 10 cm

Material: Clay – sand-white (or terracotta-red if desired)

"Wave" shape size: approx. 38 cm x 17 cm x 11 cm

Each solitary bee/insect hotel is lovingly handcrafted and is therefore an original and unique piece. No use of templates or prefabricated molds. Therefore, there may always be small deviations from the picture.

Exactly the right thing for anyone who wants to do something for species protection and at the same time have an attractive and extraordinary ornament for their home, garden, or balcony.

Attachment/Mounting:
Insects prefer a dry, warm nesting place.
Therefore, attach it in a rain-protected place – e.g., under a roof overhang or balcony or protected in a dry stone wall. Do not choose the weather side!
Moisture could harm the brood.
In addition, the clay could absorb water and be damaged by sudden severe frost.

A rich food supply for solitary bees in the immediate vicinity is of course important for good colonization!

There are 2 holes on the back for hanging.

This wave shape is also available in terracotta red.
