Bee Hotels

I now have two bee hotels fixed to the central shed. One is from my old plot but the other was a recent purchase from Aldi. The lower section originally contained pine cones with wire mesh over the front. I removed these and refilled the space with sand and then covered it with a layer of mortar. A piece of cane made the holes before I allowed it to dry. I already have plans for several more as well as 'bee bank' for Mining Bees but that's for next year.
