Why Buy This Nester?

If you love seeing insects and wildlife buzzing through your garden, this beautifully made Terracotta and Bamboo Nester is a wonderful way to invite nature to stay a little longer. Built to mimic the kind of dry, snug hollows bumblebees naturally nest in, such as old rodent burrows, it’s the perfect helping hand for pollinators and small mammals seeking shelter.

It’s not just practical, it’s decorative too. Whether placed among flowers or tucked into a sheltered corner, the warm terracotta and natural bamboo look right at home in any wildlife-friendly garden.

Over time, this nester may welcome a range of garden visitors including bumblebees, voles, mice, shrews or even birds! Every species it supports is a vital part of your garden’s living web.

What Is It?

The terracotta bumblebee nester is shaped like a small pot, combining terracotta for durability with bamboo for natural ventilation. The internal chamber is ideal for bumblebees to build their hive and is equally inviting for small mammals who seek warmth and cover.

How Will It Help?

• Supports struggling pollinator populations by providing a safe, dry nest site
• Encourages natural pest control by supporting beneficial mammals like shrews
• Adds a rustic, decorative element to your garden while offering real conservation value
• Fosters biodiversity by welcoming wildlife into even small garden spaces

Siting & Maintenance Guide

For best results:

• Place in a quiet, sheltered spot low to the ground—at the base of a hedge, raised bank, or flower border.

• Avoid full sun and strong wind, which can dry out or disturb the nest.

• Ensure contrast with surroundings, as bumblebees navigate by sight.

• Line the inside with wool, or dry grass to mimic old nests, which bees and mammals naturally seek.

• After nesting season, clean gently with hot water (no chemicals) and allow to fully dry before placing again.
