Each Bees Block contains cavities where the solitary bees lay their eggs. The bees then seal the entrance with mud or chewed vegetation, depending on species, and the offspring emerge the following spring to repeat the cycle. Because solitary bees aren’t aggressive, having no honey or queen to protect, they are therefore safe to encourage around children and pets. The Bees Block is designed and made by Green&Blue in the UK. Materials Made from cast concrete using up to 75% waste materials from the Cornish China Clay industry.
