Set up a nest in your garden
One reason for this sharp decline has been a loss of natural nesting sites. It seems that in our haste to make more houses for ourselves, we’ve pushed out the bees. Well, we’ve found a way to restore the balance.
The back of the Bee Station
Keep your garden tidy without removing all the nooks where bees would usually nest – the Bee Station is your way to help bee populations on their way to recovery.

Beekeeper, What syrup would you use in this please? It would be awful to try to help but make worse by feeding the bees something dangerous.Louise, United Kingdom - 11th November 2011
Firebox says: Hi Louise, we recommend a 1:1 mixture of water and pure white cane sugar when making your sugar syrup, but we're not professional beekeepers, so we would suggest that you refer to a more expert source if in doubt. A quick Google search turns up a lot of information, or see the website below from Beekeeper's post.
Bzz bzzz bzzz, zzz bzzz bzzzzz!Miss Bee, Bee Station - 15th September 2011
FAO Kate and anyone who read her review.
NEVER FEED HONEY TO BEES unless it came from their own hive!
Honey can carry the spores of American Foul Brood which is DEADLY to bees. Under UK law, infected hives AND ALL THE BEES INSIDE have to be destroyed!Beekeeper, Somerset - 3rd August 2011
Firebox says: Thanks for the warning - any customers looking for up-to-date info or accurate instructions can check out: http://www.bbka.org.uk/
The bees are attracted to the syrup or better yet you can attract them with honey!! We have bee lures because we keep bees but this is a very good way to attract natural bees without bothering them.Kate, United Kingdom - 2nd August 2011
So what attracts the bees to this in the first place?
Am I just going to end up with an empty orb for years?Glenn Hansen, Essex - 15th July 2011
Would it be feasible to put this (once inhabited by friendly Bee's) under your noisy, brattish neighbour's open window ? Or is that not the idea? :).Gareth, Leeds - 5th July 2011
Firebox says: Not really the idea Gareth, besides, the bee's would probably just get annoyed!
I want one!!!! Gonna buy one for my nan's little jungle as well lol.Fatty_loves_cake, London - 5th July 2011
