After many years of telling myself to do it, I finally took out my drill this year and made a few solitary bee hotels.
Drilling holes in pieces of wood creates a solitary bee hotel.
And I now I notice I have my first tenant. Some times, the most simple things in life are the most satisfying.
The sealed cell shows that a solitary bee has deposited her brood there.
Solitary bees are unappreciated, but they make up most of the bee species. And they make up a significant number of the important pollinator bees that we so desparatly need. Building a solitary bee hotel is easy. The fact I took so long to build some myself is, quite frankly, deplorable. Do not make my mistake: make a solitary bee hotel today.
Another Tramp Abroad 
Ha! Just yesterday, my wife was telling me that we should make a bee hotel. If it’s so easy, maybe I’ll make one too!
