Have you heard anything about those? Yes. They are easy to make, have a look on the web. I've made several and they've all been taken up. I've also drilled a log with holes for solitary bees and some of holes are blocked up with clay, so I guess a few solitary bees found it a good place to lay their eggs. How do you attract them, or do they just find it? You would need bee friendly plants nearby but things like sedums can be grown in troughs and pots. We have a bee friendly garden but it must be 2 months since we last saw even a bumble bee. There were lots of bumble bees in spring and now there are none. On Monday, we put one of those Victorian wasp traps in the garden & got rid of the wasp population too. I had to put a few drops of beer in it first. Pigs are the next thing to have in your garden http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ternative.html Hahahaha they will be making a pig-glu next  |
