A bee hotel is a handmade structure that gives solitary bees a safe place to lay their eggs, away from predators and harsh weather. Unlike honeybees or bumblebees, solitary bees nest alone in small pre-made holes, and nearly 90% of all bee species fall into this category. 

Building a bee hotel is a fun, family-friendly way to welcome these important visitors to your garden. 

Why does it matter? Pollinators like solitary bees are essential to our food supply, supporting between $235 and $577 billion worth of global food production each year. 

 A simple bee hotel in your backyard can make a real difference!
