Sustainability: Solitary Bee House

A while ago, I made a post about solitary bee houses and I’ve decided to share my own! This mofo is made of maple and bamboo, lacquered for weather resistance. Note the sizes of the holes: different sizes allow different species of solitary bees like mason bees or carpenter bees to make their homes, so any passerby can stop in to reproduce. (that means RAUNCHY BEE SEXXX). I also put it right above a no-till raised bed with flowers for added support. Right now the daffodils are in bloom, next up are my azaleas (not shown). Then, I plant morning glories around the base of the lattice at different intervals throughout the summer. This way, the bees have nutritional support throughout the seasons. 

P.S. Put this shit in shaded areas in your yard to support pollinators because otherwise, our crops will fail and we will be forced to purchase even more food from other countries in order to fulfill our needs!
