I drank the Kool-Aide after reading about Dot's personal efforts of building bee houses with her years of learning about what works, and what does not. I'm out $102.00 for the three house deal. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE! I received three hexagonal pine boxes stuffed with crudely chopped off bamboo sticks. Some, due to knots/joints are completely blocked off for access! Some are so small that a piss ant could not make it inside. CHEAP CHINESE GARBAGE! Please learn from my experience. I have yet to hear back about a return authorization.

This stuff was supposed to be made here in America got from Hong Kong. Takes two weeks to get it. It’s not what you ordered. It looks like nothing in the picture and this was the bee house don’t order from it

Product not as described. ( set of 4 ceramic flowers) Claimed to be handcrafted ceramic but is cheap molded plastic and likely made in China.
I do not recommend shopping here

I would give a zero if possible!!
This is the BIGGEST scam going. Their long story about what bees need and how cheap products KILL bees because they’re rough, is just a come on. The $50+ bee hotel is nothing more than a $13 Walmart item. DO NOT BUY from this company. They are cheap made in china crap and they use a lovely story of hand made bee hotels to suck you in!!

The product was not artisan work. It was mass produced, low quality. Story behind product is false. When I contacted the company, they wanted product returned to Hong Kong not the Artisan in the mid Atlantic state. I was scammed.

Complete scam. Avoid

Complete false advertising. Complete scam.

Ordered an item represented as being handcrafted by a local NC artisan. When the items arrived, they do not look like the pictures offered and they are definitely not hand-crafted ceramics. Totally misrepresented the product. Also, the payment was processed through London (with a fee for a foreign transaction) and the company is apparently located in China. Don't be fooled by a charming story and a legitimate looking website. Investigate before you order.

If you bought "Dot's Handmade Bee Blossoms", or received other items which were different than what you ordered, don't settle for the seller's 30%, 50%, or 40% refunds. With a little effort, you should be able to receive 100% refunds through the PayPal Resolution Center or your Credit Card company. The PayPal process involves submitting a complaint (which is sent directly to the seller, too), waiting for the seller's response (where they will claim you 'basically received the correct item'), then you will need to escalate the problem to PayPal by clicking on 'still need more help', or something similar. After that my case was judged 'in my favor' a day or two later to receive a full refund. Good luck not being scammed by this seller, and I hope nobody else leaves your hard earned money in their pockets! After this fiasco, I ordered porcelain "Bee Cups" brand Watering Stations For Thirsty Pollinators from Amazon. They appear to have good ratings, should truly be porcelain, and should arrive today (shipped from Texas).

BEWARE, NOT A REPUTABLE COMPANY. TOTAL RIP-OFF!
I waited for a very long time to receive my order. The company kept sending new ETAs.
The items arrived and two of four were broken. The packaging was shoddy… I’m surprised all 4 bee cups weren’t broken.
The bee cups were nothing like the items shown online. What I received were such poor quality that they were almost unrecognizable. Website claimed they were made in the US. Not true.
I contacted CraftFolk regarding the broken bee cups. They instructed me to send photos of the broken items. I complied. Now they tell me I must return the cups to HONG KONG at my expense for any adjustment in price.
I have filed a dispute with my Visa card as a fraudulent transaction.

I clicked on a specific item (bee home)made by a specific person. I received a confirmation of my order from some other vendor and a picture of an item I did not want. Total scam and I am trying to cancel and will dispute any charge that comes through.

Similar to others, the bee blossoms were nothing like the online photos - instead of "hand made" glossy pottery flowers that appeared to be about 4 or 5 inches in diameter, I received tiny, machine-made resin blossoms with a matte finish. You would need an eye dropper to add water to these. I should've done better due diligence and have still not heard back from the company for a refund.

I ordered a beautifully crafted bee house. What I got was a crude 8 sides...held together with staples...piece of crap. They extolled how the tubes were sanded down so as not the harm the bees delicate wings. These tubes would rip their wings apart.

They are fraudsters...do not buy from them. They even gave themselves a $4.00 tip...probably to take a bath.

I would give zero stars, but one will have to do. Bait and switch scam. Don't buy anything.

Pure junk! Does this look like a teardrop bee house made of woven bamboo? It’s cheap ass pine stapled together. Maybe, maybe worth $4. Yet you have the audacity to change forty bucks for this trash. You are nothing but frauds. This looks nothing like the photo or the description you used to con people into your worthless scheme. You should be embarrassed and ashamed. People, don’t buy the corny old lady and old man stories that Craftfolk portrays in their con job spiel. Just more lies. This company should be named Crapfolks.

Another scam. Do not purchase Blossom Guardian from this company. They advertise that these bee houses are made by Clayton Dawson in Brevard, NC. Brevard is a real place. Clayton Dawson is ficticious. I got ripped off once by this company purchasing "Dot's Bee Hotel." Don't fall for the story.

Ordered a handmade bee hotel with a braided bamboo cover. I was sent an octagonal wooden box held together by staples with rough tubes. The website emphasized smooth tubes to protect the bees and a waterproof teardrop shape to keep them dry. The hotel i was sent is nothing like i was promised. A complete scam. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY

Like everyone said, the product I received was junk from Hong Kong. Usually I always look up reviews on products, but obviously I didn't research this one because there are complaints everywhere. Not many people are mentioning this, but you should just dispute the charges on your credit card. I will never buy another Craft Folk item again.

Dots handmade bee blossoms ..don’t bother what a joke ..these tiny little plastic flowers wouldn’t be able to hold a bee…very disappointing and would like my 50.00 Canadian money back…

Ordered Dots Wild Bee Hotel, supposedly hand made in N.C. Received piece of junk from China. Cost too much to return. Lost hard earned money on junk.
Beware scam DO NOT ORDER.
