The Ceramic Bird and Bee Nester is an attractive dual purpose habitat for small birds and bumble bees.
Every spring, nest boxes put up for small birds are regularly used by nesting bumble bees. In response to this demand, this Nester has been developed to cater for both birds and bees.

The ceramic construction provides an attractive and functioning nester which can either be installed for birds and bees on a tree, side of a building or similar with the bracket provided, or can be installed at ground level for bumble bees.

The central part of the base has a raised plug to keep the interior floor dry.

Beautiful in its appearance, the nester is suitable for any modern garden and can help provide a safe and dry nesting site for blue tits, coal tits and other small birds, as well as important pollinating bumble bees.

Siting: For birds and bees, the nester can be fixed to a tree, building or similar location at the normal height for a bird box (7 - 10 ft high) and in a location that is not easily accessable to predators. If the nester is to be offered exclusively for bumble bees, it can be located low, or on the ground in a sheltered position in dappled sunlight. Under a hedgerow or adjacent to a wall line is ideal.
