10 DIY Bee Hotels You Can Make For Your Garden

September 26, by Shellie Wilson. Leave a Comment

By providing food and water in your garden, you can encourage native bees to visit and by making them a bee hotel, you can encourage them to stay. Why is this important?  Bee’s are crucial pollinators and an important part of the Eco system.

Building a bee hotel for the garden is a fun project to do with the kids, young and old. Bee hotels are very popular and whilst you can buy your own bee hotel you can make them too. How do you make your own bee hotel? We have listed 10 diffrent DIY tutorials for you to follow below but let me give you a few basic. A bee hotel needs to consist of hollow stems of bamboo, Bee hotel nesting straws or reeds that can be bundled together and packed tightly in a large container. The container or hotel can be small or large.
DIY insect hotels can be made out of recycled material such as bricks, pallets, and even piles of old logs. but once you build it how will they know your Bee hotel is ready for business? Start, by planting bee attracting flowers such as poppies, sunflowers, and sage favorites.   Bee’s are slightly fussy when it comes to their accommodation so make sure your homemade bee hotel is in a warm sunny position and off the ground. Don’t make it too high, only about 1 metre as these high flyers prefer to sleep a little lower.
