The Bee House is taking on residents....

The Bee House is taking on residents....
When I hung it earlier this summer, I had my doubts whether or not it would attract any bees.

On my balcony, in the midst of all the action, a weird little box full of tubes....

But, it has been discovered!



Unfortunately, the bees have been using my flowers pack those little tubes they've been depositing their larva in.

Sigh....



I was having such a good flower year, too! They've been looking amazing all summer long. This planter, and my miniature rose plant have been hit hard.

I'm kind of excited to see how many bees end up taking residence.

    Congrats on your Bee House! "Our" honey bee is not from here it was brought over from Europe. Great to see you helping the Natives.
Thank you! It's been an interesting experience, I'm so glad I got it.

    Billie Piper - "Honey to the Bee"

    I close my eyes and I see you clear
    It feels like you're lying here
    All the things I want to say come and go
    Easy as the breeze those words just flow
    I float on air light as a feather
    Your love so sweet like an open flower
    I'm dizzy from the time we spent together
    I need that honey drip every hour

    I'm thinking about your sugar lips
    Got a feeling for you now that's so strong
    I'm dreaming of the candy in your finger tips
    Baby don't stay away from me for too long

    I've been missing you I should be kissing you
    Honey to the bee that's you for me
    I wouldn't tell a lie got a love I can't deny
    Honey to the bee that's you for me
    Honey to the bee that's you for me
    Honey to the bee

    you're the only one who can get me there
    (heaven) when you gonna hear my prayer, yeah?
    (heaven) you're the only one who can get me there

    Love watching the bees work. Happily hopping from flower to flower in a seemingly random pattern. Then you realize that although random, every one of those flowers will get fertilizes in the end. Isn’t nature great.
    Bees, my role models!
I do agree, nature is amazing!

    I haven't seen very many bumble bees lately. The blackberries are in abundance, so I'm hoping the bees will be busy.
I see very few of them too.... It kind of worried me a little. The more I read about the dwindling number of here and how crucial they are....

    Since you posted about this the first time I looked into getting one, they're called bee hotels here. So they don't necessarily encourage a hive but rather provide refuge for weary bees going about a long day of pollen collection. I'm def' going to get one now, that looks fabulous.
It's pretty cool.... I've enjoyed watching it the last few days. It's a little science class on my balcony.

It's been an interesting experience! I've learned a lot from this little experiment. I really didn't know there were so many species of bees.

 Nope, they are not honey bees. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want a hive of honey bees on my balcony. Now, those guys, I think would become hive minded and sting.

    I'm not sure, but are you sure they are bees or are they a type of wasp. I've been around a lot of bees in my life and this doesnt look normal, keep close eye, a bee is very easy to identify. the wasp I think you have is hiding food in the tubes for later in the winter, packing it in with dirt, leaves or other material..
    nice looking flower , have a nice day be safe
I've seen some of the bees that have been working their magic, so I know that some of them are actual bees. I've been doing research on this since I put it up, so I know a little more than I did. I know that this is intended for the solitary bee varieties and they normally tend to be a non stinging bee.

    Your bee house is for solitary bees, which most likely are native, while honey bees come from Europe. Some solitary bees are mistaken for wasps. However you will most likely get some wasps tucking insects for food in there for the eggs they lay in there before they seal the hole.
After I put it up, I started doing some research. I didn't realize there were so many bee varieties out there! I've been watching the bees as they check out the tubes and eventually start filling them with stuff. It's been pretty amazing. One little bee was filling his with leaves from somewhere.
