Nice thread. I'm going to look at that website. I'm always interested in attracting wildlife. Birds, bats....why not bees?

The native bees are easy to watch.
We go over to our hives to just watch the bees and recently every time we have, one or two have flown out and started to guard us. A few have flown over and bang................stung us. Crazy bees.

There’s roughly 20 tubes filled since I hung it up. And today I saw a few smaller bees going into tubes on the first house I put up last year.

I have 2 bee hotels up, both are being used, lots of tubes filled. The only bees I see working are little black and white striped ones about 1/2" long. They are shy and leave as soon as I approach. I got the hotels at Dollar General for $5 ea. In their little garden dept. Burd, great pics!

I hung one up, they are slowly filling the nesting spots.
Was worried about the bees earlier this year...not much activity in May and June. Last two weeks they have showed up in force...all types as well. This is really great to see...had to put more tubes out vacancy was getting thin in the bee house.
