Wildlife habitat for hibernating bees and insects


Wildlife habitat for hibernating bees and insects

Found this excellent structure in a nearby garden, with lots of niches and holes for overwintering bees and insects. I thought it was a good idea to build a structure like this, though straws and other small reeds would be good for lacewings and solitary bees and wasps.
