krewllobster,

Mark your calendar to swap out the tubes for new ones in early summer to help prevent disease and parasites (it sounds like you’re aware of this, but leaving the comment just in case): news.vt.edu/…/ext-entomologists-tips-for-installi…

knexcar,

What’s a bee house? I thought bees lived in hives.

AlternateHuman02,

The bees most people are familiar with do live in hives, but as far as I know, there are more bee species that do not.

Yeah there are a bunch of species of solitary bees that nest in holes they find or make - this was partly an attempt to protect carpenter bees from trying to nest in my parents’ house, in addition to providing shelter for pollinators

shalafi,

Been meaning to build a new one! Thanks for the reminder.

What size drill bits did you use? Those are a lot bigger than what I had going on.

I’ll have to check, I know I used a range of sizes on the basic set I have, I think whatever guide I was following recommended a few

trampel,

You could add a mesh 1 cm in front of it so birds can not get to the eggs/larvae.

That’s a good idea and very doable

reddig33,

🤞We need more pollinators. Thanks for doing your part!
