Remember those insect boxes I made? Well, turns out they’re of use in the garden. My wife hates bees, but only due to a fear of being stung. Generally I find bees tend to leave you alone if you do likewise. Here they are happily flying too and from their nests.
I don’t know what type they are, but they seem solitary, there’s no hive. Though there are quite a few setup in there – It’s been a bit like bee central in the garden. I’m pleased, it’s probably the most useful thing I’ve built yet. I’m still awaiting bats, though only on the side of a bungalow, I doubt I’ll get any.
In this shot, you can even see the little pollen sacks that get scraped off as they enter the rough bamboo
