Helpful – Caring – Responsible

When Sean McMenemy started Noah’s Ark Wildlife Gardens as a landscaping business back in 1991, little did he know what a huge impact he was to make on the bird feeding and garden wildlife industries over the following decades.

Over 30-years later he still brings the same passion for garden wildlife to work every day, so it’s no wonder we’re so highly respected. Our expertise lies in providing carefully selected natural food and products that offer significant benefits to wildlife – with the type of customer service only true enthusiasm for our subject can bring.

Meeting a demand for natural, nutritious wildlife food

In those early days, Sean constantly received requests for help in making his clients’ natural gardens more wildlife friendly. Requests for bird food encouraged Sean to research bird feeding, and at that time he found problems in the market with quality and service. He knew then the only way forward was to create his own natural, nutritious range of wildlife food and present it in a way which benefited both the wildlife and the customer. Ark Wildlife was born.

The company has steadily grown since those early days, now standing as one of the UK’s largest independent suppliers of bird food and garden wildlife products, despatching over 500 parcels per day across the United Kingdom.

Exceptional service, because we care more than we can put into words

No matter how large our business is now, Ark Wildlife aims to combine the convenience of an online mail order outlet with the caring, helpful touch of a specialist shop. Our people make the difference. We take great pride in the energy, commitment and enthusiasm of our ever-growing workforce, still led by our inspirational driving force, Sean. If you read through some of Sean’s blog posts you will see how knowledgeable he is and how much he cares for the welfare of our wildlife.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you tell me what material these are made from and if I would be able to cut them to fit in my existing nester?

These are made from strong cardboard and can be cut through, using a stanley knife, to the correct length required.

Do I need to add leaves or pollen in the bee tubes or do the bees do this?

All you need do is make sure the back of the tubes are tight against a solid surface or blocked off in some way and mount them on a south facing wall or in an orchard (depending on species). The bees will collect the nectar, leaves and mud themselves and it's fascinating watching them work.

Place tubes in a weather-sheltered area, like under an eave or in a bee house with a roof overhang to protect from rain.

Yes - Bees need a source of mud, preferably within 30 metres (100ft) and try and site the tubes near early spring flowers as solitary bees are generally active before bumblebees and honey bees.

Do Mason Bees sting?

It is very rare. Mason bees are gentle insects and do not defend their nests aggressively - their sting is normally not strong enough to break human skin.
