    i hope you can help me, i am looking for a bumble bee house for my garden not really a big hive.

    the ECO shop used to sell them but they have closed down now other then that the only other place i could find them was in england.

    surely there must be someone in ireland selling this, am also looking for a ladybird house.

    thanks

    Try this place in Cork www.thesecretgardener.com Tel: 029 60084 They have won awards for their place i think.

    They have a new online shop. I think i have seen insect houses on their online shop.

    Make one, tie together a bunch of suitable bamboo rods with hollow stems, rof it up and put it somewhere sheltered
