Andaluz Bumblebee Nester

The Andaluz Bumblebee Nester is a beautifully handcrafted shelter, designed in the UK and expertly handmade and hand-painted in Spain by skilled artisans. Inspired by traditional straw bee skeps, this charming design offers the rustic look of the past with the strength and durability of modern materials.

Made from hi-fired glazed ceramic, the Andaluz nester is far more robust than traditional straw versions. It is fully frost-resistant, providing a dry, ventilated and safe home not only for bumblebees but also for small mammals such as voles, mice, and shrews. If you happen to find a furry resident in the first year, don’t worry — bumblebees often prefer to settle into old or previously used nests, so you're even more likely to attract a bumblebee colony in the following season.

Did you know?
Bumblebees are naturally attracted to the colour yellow. The bright, hand-painted bumblebee design on the nester isn’t just decorative — it also helps bees easily locate their new home, as they rely heavily on visual cues when navigating.

Where to Site Your Andaluz Bumblebee Nester:

• Place the nester in a visible location with good contrast against its surroundings to help bumblebees find it easily.

• Choose a sheltered spot, protected from strong winds and direct sunlight.

• Ideal locations include the base of hedgerows, raised banks, or flower borders where it blends naturally into the environment.

Encourage vital pollinators into your garden and provide a secure, long-lasting home with the Andaluz Bumblebee Nester — a beautiful way to support wildlife.
