Navaris Wooden Bumblebee House for Garden - Wood Shelter Nesting Habitat Hotel for Bees - Bumble Bee Home Box with Metal Roof - 11.8"x7.9"x5.7"

It was better than expected.

we had neighbors who cleaned up their yard which included forcing out a bumblebee. At first I thought it was dead but it was cold from the winter. We looked at lots of housing for it and this was the best. So we gave it a new nest to last thru the winter. It could not be inside the house or it would have perished from lack of food. This was an endangered variety of bee here in the Central Valley so it was worth trying to save it. We won't know for another month or two if it made it.Update: She made it thru the winter. We saw her on flowers near the box this spring, and the house is empty now where we last saw her. She has been coming by a lot lately so she has a brood somewhere. Maybe in the box, I leave it alone so not to disturb her it she is still using it.

I’m not sure if the bumblebee moved into this or not. It’s very well made. I put nesting material in it as well. She kept going into the short hose on my rain barrel so I got her a proper house. I even put her in it once. I put a screen in the rain barrel hose so she couldn’t go back in there. Time will tell. I also made another bumblebee house from an inverted clay pot. Hopefully, someone will move in.

Item was not intact. One half of the bumblebee house was not attached to the other half. Nails were dislodged.

I’m interested in this little habitat but need to know the following please: Is there a hole for the bumblebee to go from the entrance area into the nesting area ? I don’t see one or does the divider wall have a gap they crawl over or under? Are there more air holes besides the entrance? Is glue used in the construction? What is the circumference of the pipe entry? Thank you in advance for responding

Made Very well

Currently set out on ground level facing south. We have several bumblebees in the area. Hoping this works. I made the nest with an old birds nest, leaf mulch and my doodle dogs hair. Would’ve like to get a mouse nest put in there as that’s what attracts them but didn’t get to the pet store. Will update if I get a colony. To answer people’s questions. They’re is a hole in the divider wood for the queen to crawl through. Two all vent holes are located on what I assume is the nest side of the box opposite of the entrance.

Used for my Mason bee cocoonsLiked the tube connected to the hole, helped stop predators getting in and helped stop the rain getting in

Das Haus ist angekommen und hat eine verhältnismäßig gut Verarbeitung. Es hat keinen Wetterschutzanstrich, der ist vermutlich wegen der Hummeln aus Naturschutzgründen weggelassen worden. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist gut.Was ich nicht verstehe (bei keinem) es steht überall drin Hummeln mögen kein Plastik. Aber egal wo man kauft die Röhre und evtl die Mottenklappe, alles ist aus Plastik. Da machen sich die Hersteller es etwas einfach und sollte verbessert werden. Nun werde ich sehen ob es auch angenommen wird oder ob alles für die Katz war.

Es ist eine stabile Ausführung, allerdings fehlt hier der Notausgang für die Hummeln. Ansonsten wird es wohl gute Dienste leisten

Put in some bedding material. Bumblebee yet to set up home in it.. keeping my fingers crossed..

looks ok but no one moved in yet.
