I received this link from one of my readers that I would love to share with you all. I went to google to get it translated, so there may be words that it could not translate, but you get the gist. Check out these bee hotels…they are massive! Thanks for the wonderful link norwegica!

What a way to get those people visiting botanical gardens and nature centers to be aware of and quit fearing native bees.
I went to the site where someone had taken the time to create directions to building a smaller garden version of the bee housing. I am inspired to try such a thing just to see if there are enough bees around to use it and to get the kids involved.
We certainly have plenty of pollen and nectar sources to supply a colony.
I especially liked the sand pit. Looked it up to see if viable in Illinois. Thanks for the link…Gloria
