Welcome to "Gardeners Beehive" saving the honey bee

Honey bees like all other bugs are under ever increasing threat from pesticides, herbicides, bad farming practices, GMO's, urbanisation and so on.

!! BUT !!

 Honey bees have an added challenge unique to them. They cannot and do not hibernate! What dose this mean? Well this is a huge contributing factor to their success around the world, but now its a part of the  problem leading to their plight. Honey bees need a very specific nest to live in. This is because they need to store honey. This is Because honey bees, unlike bumblebees,  do not hibernate! So they need, to make and store food for winter , Honey,.

Bees naturally would live in hollow trees, along with all the symbiotic bugs and insects that this would provide. Simple, so lets plant trees, the problem is, an oak tree needs to be around a 100 years old before it is ready for bee habitation. "Huston we have a problem". 

Give them beehives? Well bees do not choose to live in beehives, that is why its called beekeeping, not bee-hosting.

So I created a Mock tree stump, Honey bee hosting , not keeping, the Gardeners Beehive because on mass, mass producing of real tree stumps is not viable or sustainable and we need as many as possible.

Even Winnie The Pooh knows bees live in trees.

Gardeners Beehive is a mock tree-stump, mechanically ideal derived from what works best in the wild, and Biologically  what they need to live with symbiotically. Now all they need is a location and caring people like you.

Because Honey Bees are worth saving.
