Now is a good time to provide a home for all sorts of insects and in particular solitary bees.So what could be better than a Bee Hotel.They are easy to make although I took the lazy way out and bought this one for £9..Depending on the size of your hotel it can be free standing or secured to a fence post or tree like mine.Best to be in a sunny spot facing in a southerly direction although sheltered as much as possible from the rain.Once your mason bees take up residence they will seal the holes with mud so a supply of damp soil nearby will be a help.
All bees are fantastic pollinators and should be welcomed into our gardens.
