Nature's Way Bird Products PWH1-B Purple Pollinator House

Held up well and was well used. It is best to replace every year but ours has been wonderful and full of bees.

I bought this in 2023 to hang where I tossed some wildflower seeds. I rarely see bees in my area so I didn't expect anything and completely forgot about it. This week I added a solar light to the area (for new puppy nighttime potty runs) and noticed my bee house has tenants! About 1/2 the tubes are in use - some with bits of grass and straw, and some with what looks like wax. The house itself is "weathering" and the joints are starting to separate a bit. I won't replace it as there are tenants so I'll just shore it up with some duct tape. Not at all disappointed in this purchase and may buy a second for another location.

Bought this as a birthday gift for a friend who loves animals and nature. She loves it but did not see any bees use it last summer. However, she thinks she put it in a bad location.

super simple to put up. I chose to mount it on a pole in the middle of my yard to point it southeast. They have been up about a month, and so far, no bees, but since I did not put them up until late June, I do not expect bees this year hoping for some next year. I believe they will last for many years. They were also a great price, so I purchased two.

Love the color but it's smaller than expected and the top eaves have started to separate after a short time outside. No bees or bugs took up residence either.

I bought two & within a week of putting them up, we had a lot of bee traffic & quite a few holes sealed up! Very sturdy & a good size. Highly recommend

I add a new one of these every year to the south side of my condo’s exterior to help support the native bee and wasp population locally. I started with one and they just keep growing. :) Secret trick: 1. use a wire brush (if it didn’t come with your hotel, most Americans get one to clean out their water bottle straws so look in your ‘weird utensil’ drawer) to remove all the extra wood shavings. The bees especially like a clean condo and will reject a tube for the smallest infraction. 2. Then, if you’re in 9b (I’m in CA), hang it in late Feb for a March enticement for the earliest of natives visiting your garden. Adjust your timing accordingly but in my experience orchard masons are the first to unearth themselves from their cocoons so you want space available when they’re ready to lay eggs later in the month. 3. Once they’re done your hotel will still be intriguing to all the helper wasps. I even had a bright turquoise mud dauber last summer, and she only eats black widows. The tubes seem to be too small for my area’s carpenter bees but you’ll still see them visit.

The mason bees found this house while it sat outside my back door waiting for me to find the perfect spot to hang it up--and before I could even take the label off! It hasn't been out there for more than a week and today I noticed mason bees flying in and out. Kind of cool to watch them working. Once activity dies down, I will hang it up nearby where I can keep an eye on it (instead of 30 feet away as planned, where I wouldn't see it very often).

Très joli article après quelques jours à l’air les abeilles se sont installées et ont pondu. J’ai ajouté une goutte de miel pour rendre cet hôtel à abeilles sauvages attractifs. Je suis satisfaite de ce produit et de contribuer à la protection des abeilles sauvages qui pollinisent 80 % des végétaux

Fait parfaitement le job (si bien installé dos au vent dominant), tellement utilisé par les abeilles que j'ai dû en acheter un deuxième pour répondre à la demande :-)

Tamaño perfecto, resistente y los tallos de bambú pueden quitarse y limpiarse de ser necesario

Beautiful insect house. So lovely to receive one that is painted.

This works very well. And the price was right. Good value and the mason bees love it!
