    @NewBoy2 You should take them down to clean them out once a year and they need protecting from the elements.

    I took the bee boxes in when the weather began to get wild, my back garden is East facing, its a perfect spot for the boxes in Summer but not so great this dreadful Winter. I'm going to assess next week's weather prediction before I put them out. Have to say I'm enjoying this discussion, a bit of light relief!

    Solitary houses for bees? or houses for solitary bees? I'm lost.

    That's funny Hostafan1, it's a good job we can have a chuckle given all the troubles going on at the moment, made me laugh anyway! 😉 I have houses for solitary bees.

    Whew. Some are a wee bit picky on here.
    I'm glad you took it in the jolly spirit in which it was intended.

    Actually Hostafan1 I generally don't participate in social media, I find comments can be a  unkind or critical, but generally a good bunch on here, maybe because all the gardeners I have ever encountered are a bit eccentric, fairly sure I am anyway!

    Very enjoyable and satisfying
