I was surprised to see so many tubes sealed (it’s on its second year but it looks like we missed the window to swap in the replacement tubes I’d made). If you spot any other issues please let me know.

The bees most people are familiar with do live in hives, but as far as I know, there are more bee species that do not.

Yeah there are a bunch of species of solitary bees that nest in holes they find or make - this was partly an attempt to protect carpenter bees from trying to nest in my parents’ house, in addition to providing shelter for pollinators
