I'm glad the bees are making their home near you, makes you feel special doesn't it?
Hello I bought my from the bird feeding section at local hardwear store, they are about the size of a bird box, mine was 12.99.: its got small drawing of a bee and also ladybird, so I guess its for both insects made of bamboo cane, I dont know if you hang them any particular time of year . well they got to go up summer because thats when they are all about im sure something will benefit from it Also did read in my weekly garden mag that you can cut 6 inch lenghts of bamboo cane about 10 at a time and tie it together and hang them about the garden and in sheds, greenhouses etc,etc.Thats a good idea and much cheaper than a box should people want to make something similiar with out the cost. shei.
