Mason Bee/solitary bee nesting kit

Hello!

Is anyone else putting up a solitary bee nesting kit/tubes this year?

I’ve lots of solitary bees in my garden but this is the first year I’ve used the bee tubes. I’m super excited to see if I get any nesters.

 

Most of my solitary bees are looking for warm, sandy banks. Which I have in spades!

I don’t have “bee hotels”, but I do have piles of small sticks / branches, some in sun, some in shade, to cater for as many tastes as possible...

 

This sounds good! The bees I have used to go into holes in the brickwork on the side of my house, so thought the tubes would be similar. I can’t wait to see if I get any cocoons!
