@DaveGoulson Really ace to see a chamber has been filled on my hexagonal shaped house Dave! I have had a good year with my own. I’ll update you later this month with my results. ⚡️🐝⚡️

Often #osmiabicornis aka #redmason bee have a quirky trait. They replenish their cells by backing in to their home. First they fly home, check their tube out, then come out and back in. They do this to scrape off collected pollen from the hairs of the underside! #SolitaryBeeWeek

Although most people are aware of honeybees and bumblebees, solitary bees are often the unsung heroes of the pollinating world. There are estimated to be between 20,000-30,000 solitary bee species worldwide with over 240 species of solitary bee in the UK alone.

Its moments like this where I see Ive done a good job at bringing the next generation of #masonbees through winter in the UK. Watching the male emerge here. Its a tough start to their lives, chewing to fly! @hexabeehouse #solitarybee #redmasonbee #hexabee #solitarybeeguardian

@MrsGong3 @ArtlabCPS @hodge I have a 7 and a 9 year old. They like me are spell bound bee guardians.

This is an epic moment for my #solitarybee research. Those in the know will know how significant this picture is to me. 10 minutes in the garage with the correct tools and voila! Big thanks goes to @artlabcps (Tracy) for the help and @_wood_butcher_ and @hodge.design

Yesterday at 2pm the first honeybee (Apis mellifera) in this species’ evolutionary history managed to pull a string for reward. They are much harder to train than bumblebees, though!

[Hexabee @hexabeehouse]

@NestboxTech The wood price, esp birch ply has gone through the roof. I have been trialling a couple of design shapes for the past 2 years. Some really good results. Hopefully will share the findings soon.

[Hexabee @hexabeehouse]

Placed the boxes out last week. Ne at the allotment (which was a bumper haul last year) This weekends temps look good for the emergence of last years #redmasonbees #osmiabicornis #solitarybee ⚡️🐝⚡️

[Hexabee @hexabeehouse]

@NestboxTech I made most of them, based upon Nurturing Natures. Has he stopped making/selling them? I have a lot more that I am currently trialing in my research.

Great little guide to making your own Solitary bee observation box. A variation on the classic made by George Pilkington.

[Chris @NestboxTech]

A couple of #bee peeps asked for a how-to make guide for yesterday’s solitary bee observation box post #solitarybees
