Field Cuckoo Bumblebee magnet – Backyard Heroes

Meet the common carder bee (Bombus pascuorum), the fluffy pollinator powerhouse of the European garden. This ginger-brown bumblebee is one of Europe's most important pollinators, working from early spring to late autumn — one of the longest seasons of any European bumblebee. From dawn to dusk, the common carder bee visits hundreds of flowers a day, keeping our gardens and food systems thriving.

This premium magnet features stunning wildlife photography that captures the distinctive ginger-brown fur and industrious nature of this special pollinator.

Why common carder bees are important for your garden:

• Essential pollinator — fertilizes flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees
• Long-season worker — active from early spring to late autumn
• Gentle and non-aggressive — safe around children and pets
• Indicator of healthy, pesticide-free gardens
• Indispensable link in the European ecosystem

How to attract common carder bees to your garden:

• Plant native wildflowers with tubular blossoms (foxglove, lavender, comfrey)
• Provide nesting sites — leave rough grass and moss undisturbed
• Create bee-friendly borders with year-round blooming plants
• Completely avoid pesticides and herbicides
• Provide shallow water sources with landing stones

We partner with organizations that make a real, measurable contribution to wildlife conservation. Together, we are building a community of wildlife ambassadors — one magnet at a time.

With the purchase of this magnet, we donate €2.00 to wildlife conservation – directly contributing to the preservation of the common carder bee and its habitat.
