In my previous video I gave some incomplete and poor advice. If you want to know how to properly make a bee hotel below is the link to Marc Carlton's
PDF Guide:
www.foxleas.com/uploads/files...
In summary:
* Keep them Somewhere Sunny
* Replace materials every 2 years or line the holes
* Seal the back so it's not a wind tunnel
* Put it somewhere sunny
* Keep them dry over the winter. In the UK and Ireland it's so wet that even when they have a roof it's often insufficient. So take them into a shed or porch (cold and dry).
Although you can buy them, they're easy to make for a fraction of the cost so why wouldn't you have a go?

I love the correction, we all learn by feedback. I also like your presentation, no shouting at the camera, being yourself. Please keep these coming, I like many others are keen to join the garden rewilding concept. There are things we can all do, a bird feeder, bird nesting boxes, small water space (in large gardens a shallow pond), bat boxes, compost heap or leaf leaf in smaller spaces. Really looking forward to seeing your honest and open debate, so we are all educated/learn together.

Another good thing is to make smaller ones, but have more, this helps with predators finding a smorgasbord of food, and similar for diseases with one hotel having an outbreak but the others still safe.

I know it'll be a lot more work to establish, but I'm planning on covering a sizable section of breeze block wall with a ten inch thick cob wall(sand/subsoil/chopped straw blend). Then creating vast numbers of holes whilst the cob is moist. Does anyone know if wood increases the chance of diseases due to it's degrading over time?

Sorry to have mad this a thing as you are amazing on the advice you give and didn't want you to think was having a pop at you. Even a lot of the bug / bee houses you can buy from reputable places come with some very limited instruction. The PDF is great and like Marc I've been trying to attract mining bees but sadly also with no joy.

When are you ment to clean the bee hotels? Do the bees not stay in there year round?

I'm a bit concerned about shop bought insect hotels. I found three dead bees in the packaging. How they got there I don't know. As they were in plastic bags and clearly had never been outside. The bamboo, drilled wooden dowels were clean not weathered. Fern cones might be the source, but if so could manufactures be actually harming bees in the process of making hotels like this?
@tecmow4399

I don’t really know enough about the specific situation to say but in general the manufacturers often employ style over substance. They want to sell the hotels so their appearance is much more important than their utility to the insects. I wonder if they were stored outside and the holes became inhabited and then they hatched? I’m completely guessing here

I don’t agree with this. It has too much human intervention, the bees need to be hardy enough under natural conditions to find a suitable home and stay there over winter without humans moving the wood inside. Doing that will foreseeably reduce the resilience of the bees.
@tecmow4399
@tecmow4399 11 дней назад
But there’s already human intervention in ensuring they have reduced habitat. But I see your point to a degree. They’d normally find a hole in a tree which would be dry over the winter. You could just put a better roof on the big hotel and I imagine it might help. If it didn’t show from the video - it’s not my field of expertise. I’m just trying to go through the research available to make a best guess
