A thoughtful gift for someone who loves their garden and the wildlife that visits it. This bundle pairs the BeeLife Premium Bee Observation Box with an additional Fresh Nesting Module, giving the recipient more flexibility through the nesting season.

The Premium box’s clear viewing panel offers a close-up view of solitary bee nesting activity. Its removable module allows a fresh module to be fitted when appropriate, following the care guidance.

The bundle is designed with spring mason bees and summer leafcutter bees in mind. Their activity and timing vary with local conditions, so think of it as preparation for seasonal bee watching rather than a promise of continuous visitors.

At £84.99, you save £9.99 compared with buying the Premium box and one Fresh Nesting Module separately.

The Module (Two-Phase Bundle)

When your current module is filled, just unscrew it and pop in a brand‑new additional one keeping your premium bee box ready for the next wave of bee nesting.

It keeps your Premium Bee Observation Box ready to welcome bees again and again.

In warm weather, bees fill a module fast, so it's always handy to have a fresh one ready to swap in throughout the season.

The tubes don’t stay empty for long as it is also beneficial for other bees and potter wasps that share the same space.

How many bees can your bundle support?

Each removable nesting module has seven nesting rows, with room for around 7–9 pollen-provisioned nesting cells per row when fully occupied. That gives a potential capacity of approximately 49–63 nesting cells per module. Your bundle includes the Premium box with its nesting module plus one extra Fresh Nesting Module. 

The capacity above is per module, not a guaranteed number of emerging bees. Occupancy and successful emergence vary with nesting activity, local conditions and losses such as parasites.

Easy Module Change

To swap modules, simply unscrew the two side screws 
(as shown with the white arrows). These are the only screws used for 
changing modules. Lift the module out and pop in a fresh one.

The top and bottom screws are different - they’re only used when you’re harvesting cocoons, then inspecting and cleaning each chamber ready for spring. 

A fresh, clean home means healthier solitary bees and a thriving garden.

Make Your Garden Bee‑Ready

Solitary bees are tiny pollination pros, and helping them out is surprisingly easy.

Give them a home
Sunny, sheltered spots are ideal. Bee boxes, hollow stems and natural nooks all do the job.

Keep the menu open
Grow pollen‑packed plants from March to August - herbs, wildflowers and flowering shrubs are perfect.

Leafcutters will snip perfect circles from soft leaves as they build their nests.

Skip the sprays
Chemicals throw off their rhythm, so stick to bee‑safe gardening.

Let a corner go wild
A scruffy patch or bare soil gives ground‑nesting bees a place to dig in.

Add a mini watering station
A shallow dish with stones keeps bees hydrated, and damp soil helps mason bees gather mud.

Think seasonally
Dry boxes in winter, a quick clean in spring, and plenty of flowers when they wake up.

Two‑Phase Bee Box Care Guide

Our bee boxes are low‑maintenance and made from natural, weather‑resistant wood. To keep things bee‑ready:

Daily:

  • Remove any cobwebs so the entrance stays clear for visiting bees.
  • Check if your module is filled - if it is, simply swap it for a fresh one to welcome the next wave of bees.

Autumn:

  • After harvesting, clean out each chamber - scrape away the mud, use a fine little paintbrush to brush out the crumbs, and leave everything fresh and ready for next season.

Winter:

  • Store your cleaned, empty box indoors to protect it through the colder months -your box is reusable year after year.

All year round:

  • Avoid painting or treating the wood with chemicals. Bees prefer it natural.

We are BeeLife Co

BeeLife Co

Buzzed into life in Somerset, South‑West England in 2026 with one mission: help the UK’s solitary bees and give them a home to nest. So we started handcrafting bee observation boxes with a viewing window - because the best part of nature shouldn’t be hidden behind a mystery tube.

We had a traditional bee hotel and quickly realised we never knew who checked in, what they were building, or whether they were even bees at all. We figured we could change that.

With a BeeLife Box, you get front‑row seats to the whole show: gentle pollinators building perfect nests, stashing pollen like tiny hoarders, and transforming from egg to fully grown bee. It’s one of nature’s greatest glow‑ups - and most people never get to see it. Until now.

Education for all
Whether you’re a parent looking for a hands‑on nature adventure, a teacher bringing wildlife into the classroom, or a gardener cheering on your local pollinators, there’s a BeeLife Box ready to make your world a little buzzier.


Amazing pollinators keep your flowers, fruits and gardens thriving. Give them a helping hand with a bee box. Win‑win.
