- Do you know what a solitary bee is? The chances are, if you spot a bee in your garden, it’s more often than not a solitary bee. In the UK, we have just over 250 species of bee, most of which are solitary. Some look like tiny flies, and others are as big and fluffy as bumblebees. These non-aggressive, gentle bees don’t sting and are some of our most effective pollinators, which is why we love attracting them into our gardens.
- As the name suggests, solitary bees don’t tend to live in colonies or hives. Instead, they lay their larvae in tubes, tunnels or nesting chambers. Sealing each egg separately with enough pollen inside gives them the energy to emerge the following spring.
- Attracting solitary bees to the garden is not only safe but beneficial to the pollination of flowers, fruit and vegetables. Solitary bees are born pollinators!
- Site in a sunny position facing between south to the south-east to catch some morning sun.
- . These specially designed tubes for mason/orchard bees (Megachile spp) can be used to fill existing bee boxes, or to make your own simple bee nester.
- From March to August these bee species will lay eggs in the tubes and create a series of cells from mud or leaf. The larvae will develop over the winter period in the tubes and will then emerge the following spring.
- Drilled and dried for effectiveness

Wildlife World Solitary bee Tubes Wooden (Pack of 50)
These specially drilled wooden tubes are the ideal for mason bees and leafcutter bees and other overwintering insects. The tubes come in a range of sizes from 5mm up to 12mm, the middle sizes 7mm to 10mm are best for solitary bees. They can be used to fill existing bee boxes, or to make your own simple bee nester. Solitary bees are gentle bees and are wonderful pollinators to increase vegetable, flower and fruit yields in your garden. From March to August these bee species will lay eggs in the tubes and create a series of cells from mud or leaf. The larvae will develop over the winter period in the tubes and will then emerge the following spring. Ensure that your own bee box is well-insulated or overwinter your full bee box in shed or garage. If left outside cover the full tubes with wire mesh to prevent predation from greedy woodpeckers.
