, by . 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.

Hi everyone! I recently got my hands on the book “Taste of Home Handmade Christmas” and let me tell you, it’s a real gem. If you’re someone who loves to create and give homemade gifts during the holidays, this book is for you.

The best part is that it caters to all levels of crafting experience, so whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, you’ll find projects that you’ll love making. The Canning Lid Coasters, Pinecone Fire Starters and Silver Chain Earrings are some of my personal favorites.

The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of holiday decorating and gift-giving. The “Deck the Halls” chapter is all about home décor and makes for ideal hostess gifts. The “Easy Jewelry Ideas” chapter is perfect for those of us who aren’t pro crafters but still want to create impressive pieces. “Nature Inspired Surprises” is for those who want to share their love of the great outdoors with friends and family. And the “Kitschy Christmas” chapter is for those who love to bring a little humor to the holidays, with silly toys and treats for Fido.

One of my favorite things about this book is that it’s so user-friendly. The projects are simple and easy to follow, with clear instructions and plenty of helpful tips. Plus, many of the projects can be done with kids, which makes them a great family activity.
