The VegTrug bee bar is a simple yet effective habitat that provides a large number of cardboard tubes in which solitary (non-stinging) bees can lay their eggs. The VegTrug bee bar is perfectly compatible with the VegTrug and VegTrug wall hugger, it can be easily secured to the legs just below the planter, allowing the bees a great place to nest. Solitary bees are perfectly safe to attract into the garden as they do not sting. Solitary bees are highly effective pollinators of flowers, vegetables, and fruit crops and pollinate up to 85% more than a honey bee. By encouraging the bees to nest in your garden you are helping the conservation of these bees as well as improving the yields of your crops. From March to August the female bees will lay eggs in the tubes and create a series of cells separated by mud or leaf walls depending on species. The larvae will then be able to develop over the winter period and will then emerge as adult bees the following spring. This cycle will continue to happen year after year. The VegTrug bee bar is the ideal accessory for your VegTrug to assist with growing healthy, thriving produce.
