ISpot is hosting a new set of citizen science activities:
and I have added an idea to the Bee-Inspired Mission.
I'm going to research preferred bee habitats and try to provide a range of species with
the most appropriate choices in my garden.
I will then check the different environments
at least once a week to see if bees are using them,
identify the species and try to create additional similar environments
to support more colonies.
I'll also plant plenty of bee-friendly plants.
Last year we had at least two colonies of Bombus Hypnorum, one in a bird nest box in the hedge and another behind the soffits on the northerly side of our roof.
