Today's random act of wildness was to make a home for bees. I'd bought a couple of insect houses (£3 each) from Morrisons at the end of last week with the 30 Days Wild Challenge in mind and decided to spend time in the garden after work this evening hanging them up.
Bearing in mind I'd already recently built a bug hotel I thought these would make an excellent addition to the garden whilst also providing more homes for bees.

I bought one of those last week too! We already have a few up but I'm sure there's room for another - when I get around to it! Your little wildlife corner is looking brilliant - quite inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThanks Louise, always good to read that others are inspired.
DeleteI keep threatening my daughter with a bug hotel - she hates insects. I think I'll have to sneak one in somewhere. Your garden is looking lovely, particularly when there's a cat in it :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie.
DeleteSo glad you managed to get some of these bee hotels, two more went up yesterday in my garden , I have six now and the Mason bees have moved into the ones I have on the front of the house which is lovely...

I put these up close to a lavender bush so fingers crossed now that some bees move in.
