Native bee and pollinator house

mich1972

Have you got any Australian Native trees or shrubs growing in your garden that needs a prune ? If they are reasonably thick branches , chop up a branch , drill holes in them and make your own Native Bee and Pollinator House !! 🐝🐝 Get a terracotta pot and fill it up, pack it tight so nothing falls out. Before you do that, get yourself some Sisal and braid it. Thread it through the drainage hole to make your hanger. When you have finished it , hang under a shady tree or somewhere protected by the rain. Enjoy 🐝🐝

That's so great! I've been wanting to do a bee/insect home for ages but they're all so big that it has been a bit off putting. This one is nice and quick.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Workshop Community Friends !!! I just wanted to share with you all that it is World Bee Day on Thursday 20th May.

Why not make an Australian Native Bee House and plant some Australian Native plants to encourage them into your garden 🐝💛🖤

Good morning Workshop Community Friends. Just wanted to share with you how important it is to encourage Australian Native Bees to come into your garden. I have cut down my Elderflower into segments and will be doing a special project at work making more Australian Native Bees Hotels. I like to use Elderflower branches from my garden as they are very pithy in the centre which is perfect for the bees to easily burrow in and start nesting. Old bamboo branches are also good as long as they are not treated with chemicals. Pieces of timber drilled with holes in them. Planting Australian Native plants in your garden will also attract Native Bees and provide plenty of nectar.

Hi @mich1972

Your terracotta Bee B&B is always a fun and practical project to do. If I had some of these near my trees last season, I'm sure I would have had more tomatoes on my plant.
