    I need to get some mesh fitted to the front of mine to stop the bee hotel becoming a bird café.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Bought this lovely bee house @Aldi today - for only £6.99. It feels well built and sturdy, with all the different openings for different bees. Hope bees love it just as much as I do 😂

    No, neither do I 🙁 But it’s only been a couple of hours, they are still busy working 😄😄
    It would be so good if a family of bumblebees moved on. They are my favourite animals. They and bats.

    I meant in my hotel! How do you attract them?

    I bought them a house, how much more attractive can it get 😂😂😂
    On a serious note, I don’t know how to make them move in. Hopefully they will figure it out themselves. There are lots of flowers around, maybe they will be the road sign to the house?

    Mine took a few years before the bees took up residence.

    Lower the rent and offer some kind of entertainment! That should cause a buzz about the place! 🥴
