Building A Bee Hotel
Tuesday, July 15 | 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Building A Bee Hotel
Bee boxes, or bee hotels, can attract pollinators to your garden and promote biodiversity. In this informative hands-on workshop, Friends’ volunteer group leader John Markus will review guidelines for constructing and maintaining an attractive nesting site for several varieties of solitary bees, which, unlike honey bees, do not rely on a hive for nesting. The group will collaborate on the construction of safe, clean, and productive bee hotels to be placed on the grounds of the Gardens. Step-by-step plans for constructing your own bee hotel will also be provided.
