Installing the nesting tunnels

You’ll require around half of the supplied nesting tunnels when setting up your BeeHome. The nesting tunnels can be placed in any order within the BeeHome, ensuring they are pushed back firmly against the back of the BeeHome. It is important to ensure the nesting tunnels are packed/wedged in firmly so they do not fall out when BeeHome is moved and positioned in it's suitable location within your garden.

Note: The remaining nesting tunnels are complimentary replacements for the end of bee season. This is useful is your are opting in to our BeeCare programme and sending back your used nesting tunnels at the end of the bee season in May.
