MHP bee hotel

There are ~695 species of solitary bees in India today.

They are prolific pollinators and can pollinate plants that honeybees can't - such as chilies, tomatoes, and bell peppers

Solitary bees prefer an independent lifestyle so they build nests in hollows, holes, and cracks which has become a challenge because of urbanization, leaving these bees without any sanctuary.

That's where our bee hotels come into play!

Designed for their comfort, these hotels offer bees prime real estate to rest and recharge. We've already installed these havens at our meadery, in our homes, and in a few partner bars and restaurants to kickoff this buzzing project!

To kick off our Bee Hotel Project, we've already installed these buzzing havens at our meadery, homes of friends and family, and a few fantastic partner bars and restaurants who've joined us on this pollination journey!

We hope to expand to more outlets and cities after gathering insights from this phase.

F.A.Q.

How do I choose the right location for my bee hotel?

Choose a location that receives plenty of sunlight and is protected from strong winds and rain. The location should be at least 3 feet off the ground and facing south or southeast to maximize exposure to the sun.

What type of bees will use the bee hotel?

Only solitary bees will use the bee hotel. These bees are important pollinators and are safe to have around as they do not form colonies or sting aggressively.

Can I harvest the bees' honey?

Solitary bees do not produce honey, so there is no honey to harvest.

Can the bees sting me or my guests?

Solitary bees are not aggressive and will only sting if provoked or threatened. However, it is still important to post signs and educate guests about the bees to prevent any accidents.

How do I attract bees to the bee hotel?

You can attract bees to the bee hotel by planting a variety of flowering plants nearby. Bees are attracted to brightly colored flowers. You can also place a shallow dish of water near the bee hotel for the bees to drink from.

Can I use pesticides or insecticides to prevent pests in my bee hotel?

No, it's important to avoid using pesticides or insecticides in or near the bee hotel, as these can be harmful to the bees and other beneficial insects. Instead, focus on using natural methods to prevent pests and diseases.

How can I ensure the safety of the bees in the bee hotel?

It's important to keep the bee hotel away from areas where pesticides or other chemicals are used. You should also monitor the nesting materials for signs of pests or diseases and clean them out as needed.

What if I see mold or fungus growing in my bee hotel?

Mold or fungus growing in the bee hotel can be a sign of too much moisture. Make sure to place the bee hotel in a dry location and clean out the nesting materials regularly to prevent mold growth.
