Bumble Bee House Fsc 100

It is becoming increasingly difficult for bumblebees to find a suitable nesting place. This bumblebee nesting box is the perfect shelter and nesting box for these busy (bumble) bees, which also fly out in bad weather to look for food. The first compartment within serves as a separation hall in which bumblebees can defecate and set up defensive measures for the main nest compartment to the right in the nesting box. The right, or main, compartment is where the queens will spend their entire lives. The location of the bumblebee house should be well considered. Put it on a brick. The bumblebee nesting box cannot be placed in full sunlight. Ideally the house will be warmed by the sun in the morning and covered in shade the rest of the day. Put some filler material in the box, such as wool, feathers or a bed of hay, while making sure the entrance hole remains clear.
