Wildbiene

Without bees, a third of our food would disappear, as most plants only thrive if their flowers are pollinated. Our native wild or mason bees are unbeatable pollinators that are completely harmless as they do not sting and have no interest in sweet drinks or food. A single female pollinates around 40,000 flowers, making them up to 300 times more efficient than a honeybee. This makes wild bees ideal for improving the precarious pollination situation in agriculture.

With a BeeHome, you can actively contribute to the reproduction of native wild bees at home. At the same time, you can observe these industrious creatures at close range and let a sea of colour bloom in your garden. The six additional nesting tubes make this model particularly suitable for schools or families with children. As a wild bee keeper, you will receive a starting population of 25 mason bee cocoons for the BeeHome wild bee house. Voucher
for a free wild bee starter population redeemable in spring via MyBeeHome.

The BeeHome can be hung on a city balcony, in a detached house or in an allotment garden. In spring, the wild bees hatch, pollinate the surrounding plants and multiply. They build their nests in the BeeHome and collect pollen and nectar for their offspring. When the nests are ready, the bees seal them with clay. In autumn, the bees begin their hibernation and can be easily transported. You can send the inner box with the cocoons back to Wildbiene + Partner. These are cultivated, professionally overwintered and used by farmers to pollinate fruit and berries the following spring. Wildbiene + Partner will return the renovated inner box to you and you will receive a new starting population in the spring.

I bought two and was initially very happy about it, as I believed the marketing tricks regarding sustainability and bee promotion. But beware! The motivations of the sellers are purely commercial. 

The returned cocoons are sold to fruit farmers. Since the bees have a flight radius of only about 300 metres, they cannot get to any other nesting sites and are artificially forced into these places with pesticides. In addition, when the beehome is returned, other species that are undesirable to the sellers are killed. 

Please do not make the same mistake and read this page before buying: https://www.wildbee.ch/vorsicht

If you want to help wild bees, you can easily build artificial nesting aids yourself at a much lower price and thus help!

I have now added more nesting aids to my Beehomes and no longer send the mason bees back.
