SOLITARY BEE HOUSES

When it's too hot to be out gardening, you need to find indoor projects that still benefit your garden. One such idea is to build a house for our native solitary bees. Our Honorary MGV, Brian T., (Spouse of MGV Carol T.) has generously constructed several things around the Arboretum. His latest creation is a solitary bee house shown below. You will find it tucked into a corner by the Wildflower Garden.
