The bees are struggling to survive. Pesticides, viruses, and dwindling habitats all contribute to their alarming decline. Among the many types of bees, none is more iconic than the honey bee. Yet, there are numerous other species that live in isolation. They don't have a colony and instead reside in tiny cavities within wood, stone, or earth. Depending on their size, these solitary bees excavate tunnels ranging from 3 to 10mm in diameter, which can extend up to 150mm in length. Throughout the seasons, they utilize their burrows for hibernation during winter, shelter during autumn, nurseries in summer and spring. Bees are vital components of a thriving ecosystem. They promote biodiversity among plants and significantly boost fruit and vegetable yields. Completely harmless to humans, these tiny creatures contribute to making the world a better place. Will you provide them with refuge and play your part in creating a more sustainable world? Hang the bee hotel about 2-3mm away from the wall, tilting it slightly downwards. This will ensure that rainwater flows out instead of entering the structure. If you create one, please share your results!
