Instar Wild Bee Home

Our Instar wild bee home is our second design, following Imago. While it comes in at a lower price point, it's built with the same level of quality, materials and attention to detail as our flagship product. It's name comes from the intermediate stages of a bees development.

We make Instar using lock miter joints on the house body, as well as hand-made solid oak dowels to support the nesting blocks. Each home comes with a mount to attach it to an existing wooden structure or tree, and a post is available for purchase separately if required.

Instar is available in raw white oak, as well as blue, red and UV protected.

Our wild bee homes are perfect for your garden or outdoor space. They are built with exceptional attention to detail using only domestic white oak, Osmo finishes, waterproof wood glues and stainless steel mounting hardware so that they will last for generations with minimal maintenance.

Unlike bee homes made of pine or untreated western red cedar, we wanted ours to both last the test of time, and stay looking good while they were at it. After all, you put so much effort into creating an outdoor space that looks beautiful, and we don't want to take away from that.
