SPOTLIGHT
Building and Maintaining Bee Boxes/Hotels/Condos
Did you know that some of our solitary bees nest in plant stems or beetle tunnels in wood? The best way of providing habitat for them is to leave hollow or pithy stemmed plant stems in your garden, and some downed branches, stumps, or logs. However, you can also create a bee hotel by bundling stems or drilling holes in wood. But be sure to follow or recommendations, particularly as related to their maintenance.
