It's a swanky crash pad for single bees

Singletons need a place to stay too, and while they can't pay room and board, these single bees can help your garden flourish. Solitary-pollen bees, unlike sociable honeybees, do not live in colonies or hives. Instead, these non-agressive bees fly flower to flower gathering pollen of their own volition without a bossy queen calling the shots. But a lack of accomodation is one reason for the species' decline. Made in Canada, this solitarypollen bee nest is sold by Ottawa's own Lee Valley Tools and provides a funky safehaven for bees. Just don't blame us if they invite a few friends over and mis-bee-have.
