Victorian Plumbing has created the tiny bidet to help fund the Save the Bees appeal ahead of World Bee Day on 20 May.

The bidet is accompanied by a tiny bathroom and is fully equipped with a walk-in shower and bathtub. It measures less than an inch long and is fit for a queen bee.

Sales of the bee bidets will go to the British Beekeepers Association to help fund the Save the Bees appeal – which delivers extensive research into the dangers the insects face and how the problems can be tackled.

Joe Pascoe, Chief Marketing Officer at Victorian Plumbing, said: "Bidets for Bee Day will help raise awareness of the great work that the British Beekeepers Association are doing. Bees significantly impact our environment and ecosystem; we have a duty of care to make sure we are protecting them wherever possible. Over the last five years, the sales of adult bidets have increased tenfold and range in price between £100 and £1900 so hopefully, we can raise a nice amount for this cause."
