Attracting Bees - from the Poundshop

Post by **Richard** » 13 Sep 2014, 13:54

I was in the Pound Shop yesterday and came accross this garden border bamboo pack (at the moment it's 3 for the price of 2).

Got thinking and brought one.

To attract Solitary, Leafcutter Bees and other Insects to lay eggs in, just leave as is and hang it under a gutter somewhere in a more sunny position.

Alternately you could squeeze them all into a bit of Downpipe and do it that way.

Yes, great idea Richard.

The bees, bumble, solitary and honey are still enjoying the last of the summer wine (or should that be nectar?). But soon the queen solitary and bumble bees will be looking for nooks and crannies in which to over winter.
