Step back in time and enrich your garden with the enchanting allure of our Ceramic Bee Skep, a modern tribute to the ancient art of beekeeping. The Wildlife Community proudly presents this beautifully crafted skep, a nod to the straw baskets used centuries ago for bee domiciles. Unlike its historical counterparts, our skep is constructed from high-fired glazed ceramic, offering unparalleled durability and frost resistance.
This robust nester serves as a cozy and ventilated haven not only for bumblebees but also for small mammals such as voles, mice, and shrews. Given that bumblebees frequently inhabit old mouse nests, the appearance of a furry lodger in its initial year should be seen as a success in fostering local wildlife.
Optimal Placement for Your Bee Skep:
Bumblebees rely on visual cues for orientation, making the placement of your Ceramic Bee Skep crucial for its discovery and habitual use. To ensure your skep becomes a bustling hub of activity, position it in a spot with significant contrast to its surroundings, away from direct sunlight, and sheltered from wind. Ideal locations include the base of hedges, atop raised banks, or amidst vibrant flower borders, creating a picturesque and functional addition to your garden.
Each skep comes complete with natural nesting materials and a comprehensive guide on effective siting and usage, ensuring you have all you need to get started.
