Slide-In Tube Insert for Hive Pod

Our Hive Insert fits inside our Hive pod to provide a perfect nesting, propagating and hibernating habitat for a variety of solitary bees. Made of natural cellulose, each oval insert contains both 6mm and 8mm x 150mm tubes and is designed to last for 1-2 seasons. The used insert and tubes may be recycled or composted.

Why Depth Matters
We've specifically designed our Hive pod to work with 150mm long tubes because they provide the optimal depth to insure protection from excessive temperatures, wind and rain. Even more importantly, this tube length insures that both male and female offspring develop. Bee hotels with shorter tubes often produce only male or female bees (due to temperature). 

Placement
We highly recommend positioning the Hive pod in a sheltered area from weather with the face pointed toward the southeast. Ideally it should receive the morning sun to help resident bees warm up before leaving their enclosure.
