Don't Make This Bee Hotel MISTAKES

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.

The algorithm did a good job showing me this video instead of the other one :D

Solid video! I am looking at adding a few bee hotel options in my yard. The points identified will be helpful! New sub!

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.

That’s a great idea! Thank you

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?

It’s even more funnier when you made jokes and didn’t smile. Lol 😂

I have nothing useful to contribute here. Just commenting for the algorithm and to show appreciation for dad jokes

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.

You have nothing to apologise for. I appreciate you politely taking the time to point it out 😊
