Pricing, per pack and per hotel

PackPricePer hotelSuits
1 Wild Bee Hotel£39.99£39.99One garden or one gift
2 Wild Bee Hotels£49.99£25.00A garden plus a gift, or two sunny walls
3 Wild Bee Hotels£59.99£20.00Spreading hotels across an allotment or larger garden
4 Wild Bee Hotels£69.99£17.50Multiple gifts, or a family with several plots

Every pack ships free, worldwide, with no minimum spend and no separate shipping line at checkout. Prices are shown in GBP; any local sales tax due in your country is added at the payment step, not hidden until afterwards. Spacing two or three hotels a few metres apart across a garden or allotment, rather than clustering them, tends to spread the population rather than concentrate it in one spot — see our positioning guide for exact placement.

What arrives in the box

  • One fully assembled Wild Bee Hotel per unit ordered — nothing to build.
  • 19mm untreated Western red cedar body with tiers of hand-sanded tunnels, 2mm to 10mm.
  • Hand-formed copper roof already fitted, overhanging the front and both sides.
  • Solid rear panel, sealed against parasitic wasps reaching the tunnels from behind.
  • Heavy-duty steel wall mount, ready to fix to a wall, fence panel or post.
  • No paint, no treatment and no loose fill to add — it is ready to hang as it arrives.

Shipping and dispatch

Orders are dispatched within 2 working days of payment. Shipping itself is free worldwide, with tracking provided on every order once it leaves us, so you can follow it through to delivery. Full detail on couriers and typical transit windows by destination is on the shipping and delivery page.

The guarantee

You have 30 days from delivery to send the Wild Bee Hotel back for a full refund, for any reason — including simply changing your mind, not just a fault. The single condition is that a hotel already occupied by nesting bees should not be returned, since removing it mid-season would disturb the brood developing inside the sealed tunnels. Full process is on the returns and refunds page.

Buying as a gift

It is a common gift choice for gardeners, allotment holders, grandparents with a patio, or anyone who has mentioned wanting to do more for pollinators — it needs no ongoing feeding or care, only a sunny wall and a few minutes to fix it up. To send it directly to the recipient, simply enter their address as the delivery address when you order rather than your own; there is no separate gift-wrapping option, but the hotel arrives ready to hang with nothing further to prepare.

Ordering more than one

Multi-packs are the same hotel at a lower price per unit, shipped together in one delivery to one address. If you want hotels going to two different addresses — for example, gifts for two separate people — place two separate single orders rather than one multi-pack, since a multi-pack order is delivered as a single shipment.

Payment and security

Card details are entered once, on the order page itself, over an encrypted connection; there is no account to create and no separate cart step. See our full buyer's checklist if you want the specification detail behind the price before you commit, or our comparison page if you are still weighing it against other types.

Ready to order

Choose a pack on the order page and enter your delivery address and payment details on the same screen. Dispatch follows within 2 working days, shipping is free wherever you are, and you have 30 days after it arrives to decide it is not for you.

Questions people ask next

How much does the Wild Bee Hotel cost?
£39.99 for one, £49.99 for two, £59.99 for three and £69.99 for four. Every pack ships free worldwide, so the price shown at checkout is the price you pay, before any local sales tax due in your country, which is calculated at the payment step.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are dispatched within 2 working days. We do not publish a fixed delivery date beyond that because it depends on destination and courier, but tracking is provided on every order so you can follow it once it has left us.
What exactly is in the box?
One assembled Wild Bee Hotel per unit ordered: the cedar body with its tiers of hand-sanded tunnels, the copper roof already fitted, and the steel wall mount. There is no assembly required and nothing to treat or finish before hanging it.
Can I return it if the bees don't come, or if I just change my mind?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery, for a full refund, for any reason including simply changing your mind. The one exception is a hotel that bees are already actively nesting in — we ask that you do not return an occupied hotel, since removing it would disturb the brood inside.
Is this a good gift, and can it be sent directly to someone else?
It is one of the more popular reasons people buy it — it suits gardeners, allotment holders and anyone with a sunny wall, needs no ongoing care beyond leaving it in place, and works for birthdays, Christmas or a new-house gift. Enter the recipient's address as the delivery address at checkout to send it straight to them.
Do multi-packs need to go to the same address?
A multi-pack order ships as one delivery to one address. If you want hotels sent to different addresses — for example, gifts to two separate people — place separate orders rather than one multi-pack.
Is checkout secure?
Card payments are processed over an encrypted connection and we do not see or store your full card details. You enter delivery and payment information on the same order page, with no separate account required.
