I get asked a lot by people, what can I do to help bees! First answer is usually to plant pollinators attracting plants! This helps both the honey bees and native bees! The other thing anyone can do is to put up a “bee house.” This is my prototype of a bee house for native bees. As they are solitary bees, they lay eggs in the little channels and seal them up until the bees hatch. What I liked about this design is you can take it apart in the summer, clean out the channels and it’s ready to go for the bees again!
Still needs some cleanup, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Now to make more!!
