ORCHID BEES, Orchid Bee Pods and Clubs

FOR SALE RIGHT NOW! JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2024

A friend of mine told me about Orchid Bees, beautiful, shy, gentle, almost luminous-green bees – almost an iridescent metallic sheen. The males LOVE clove oil, they rub it on their legs and it attracts the ladies. She brought me a bottle, and the minute I opened it, I had a visitor – a tiny Orchid Bee – super gentle, inquisitive and just delightful. After a lot of research, I found a great 3D printer in the UK (Trevor – an absolute genius when it comes to designing and making 3D printed items! And a lovely man who loves nature) who makes Bee Pods (the round ones), and I helped design the Orchid Bee Club (flat, flying saucer shape) – both perfect to attract Orchid Bees. Contact me if you’re interested in purchasing – they are $40 each and are limited in stock – Trevor is working on other projects at the moment but hopefully next year he will be making more of these!)

Watch this sweet, shy little male orchid bee as he goes into the Bee Pod to get clove oil, then he hovers around rubbing it onto his legs – to attract the ladies.

The ONLY brand of clove oil they seem to like is the NOW brand. And no, the Orchid bees don’t work for NOW, they don’t get commission (neither do I) – it’s just what they seem to like.

See the little guys in action!
The Orchid Bee Club – visitors about to go inside
Ah! Blissfully happy with the clove oil
The Orchid Bee Club is so easy to open, you twist it off and put your cotton wool balls inside (soaked with clove oil) and you can put clove oil around the platform too – they will love it.

Orchid bees in the Bee Pod – they LOVE it!

For some reason, THIS is the brand they are partial too.
