Description

This solitary beehive is constructed in durable FSC®-certified timber with additional stacking trays, which can be opened for inspection and cleaning. Always a friend to the gardener, attracting solitary bees to the garden is safe and beneficial to pollinating flowers, fruit and vegetables.

This habitat's hole sizes are precisely specified to attract non-swarming bees like the Red Mason Bee, Leafcutter Bee, and other solitary bees. These friendly bees are industrious and safe around children and pets. The bees are naturally attracted to holes in wood, and the Wildlife World solitary beehive provides a habitat that has become harder to find in modern gardens.

Fascinating and great for education, the beehive trays can be carefully separated to view the formation of small cells where the eggs are laid or predators have been active.

The roof section flips up to reveal a perspex-covered tray, allowing frequent, easy monitoring of bee nesting activity and larvae development.
Site in a sunny position facing south to the southeast to catch some morning sun.
Mounting height between ground level and 1.5m.
No chemical treatments are needed as the habitat is made from durable FSC®-certified timber.
Stacking trays may be inspected after bee activity has ceased (Autumn/Winter)
Protect full bee tubes with mesh to prevent predation by woodpeckers

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do you use?

Every ingredient we use is chosen with a simple principle in mind: if nature provides it around us, we’ll use it.

Our skincare products are made using locally foraged botanicals that are hand-picked, dried, and prepared by us. Rosehips, plantain, lavender, calendula and other herbs are gathered from our local surroundings and infused into carefully selected oils to create simple, effective skincare inspired by the Irish landscape.

Our honey is raw, unpasteurised, and contains nothing but honey from our own bees.

Unlike many natural skincare brands, we do not use imported botanical ingredients such as shea butter, coconut oil, almond oil, or palm oil. In fact, the only air miles involved are those flown by our bees. Almost every ingredient comes from the fields, hedgerows, and gardens around us.

We never use synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, harsh detergents, or unnecessary additives. Full ingredient lists can be found on each product page.

Please note that our handcrafted soaps differ slightly, as soap-making requires a wider range of oils to create a gentle, long-lasting bar. Full ingredients are listed on each soap product page.

Where do you source your ingredients?

Our honey and beeswax come from our own hives at Killiane Castle, Co. Wexford. We manage the bees directly, so we know exactly where every jar of honey and candle comes from. For skincare, we use cold-pressed plant oils and botanical infusions, many of which is grown locally or we forage ourselves. We work with trusted Irish suppliers for ingredients we don't produce in-house, prioritising quality and ethics over cost. We never use synthetic fragrances, parabens, or palm oil. Every ingredient choice reflects our commitment to natural, sustainable products and Irish provenance.

Do you have a physical location or offer tours?

Yes. We're based at Killiane Castle, Co. Wexford, and we offer bee farm tours for groups and individuals. Our tours take you through the hives, show how we harvest honey, and explain the role bees play in our ecosystem. For tour dates and booking, contact 087 695 3517.
