The Favus Terrarium, inspired by my love of bees and other garden-loving invertebrates. The shape is based on the honeycomb ("favus" being the Latin for honeycomb cells), with 6 sides composed of hexagons. In the upper-half there are 3 openings to provide your plantings with plenty of air circulation, allow for watering and for you to reach inside. Each terrarium is topped with a decorative point of light or dark amber stained glass (depending on how you prefer your honey!)

Each terrarium will arrive as a kit, with almost all the supplies you need to get your terrarium planted: pebbles, activated charcoal, and a few helpful tips. The terrarium is handmade from glass and a lead-free silver alloy solder.

Please select large or small size and light amber or dark amber glass tip when ordering.

One day I hope to have a hive of my own, but in the meantime I'll be donating 10% of the proceeds from the Favus Terrarium to the Xerces Society. You can find more about their efforts here: http://www.xerces.org/
