I'm still collecting materials for my honey bee hive and doing some research. I just informed my hubby yesterday that the western side of our house is mine and he can't have it!
I'm putting my bees and my organic garden there the start of next spring.
So I wondered what I could do while I'm waiting for the spring, researching (so the bees don't rip me apart and I do what I am supposed to for them),building my hive and planning next years landscaping project with my bees in mind.
Then I came across a blog which led me to thinking of bumble bees! So i looked up bumble bee hives. While the hive is almost the same as the honey bee, I've decided since its so late in the season to go with the Bumble Bee Nest. They are super simple to make. And I have most of whats required right at home. I also found this one which is a little more in depth and I will be working on this as well.
Meanwhile I found a wonderful site that will help me next year in planning my landscaping around my home and figuring out what my Bumble Bee Score currently is! Select the plants in your yard and it gives you your score!
Will keep you posted!
