Thanks Dee. Spotted one in our sitting room this morning too. The examples on the link are amazing. Our insect accommodation wouldn’t be quite 5 star ….. piles of twigs, stones, old pots etc lying around the garden. Does the trick though. I’ve seen a big increase in insects etc since we stopped having a really neat and tidy garden. I just tell visitors that it’s an insect friendly garden now.

Spotted a solitary bee in the sitting room last night (the room used to be a cow shed) looking for somewhere to settle for the winter.

Thank you. We may all try and do our bit for our declining bees and pollinators. They’re so easy to build and a great way to recycle bits and pieces. I’ve noticed a marked increase in bees etc in my own garden over the last few years…I’m putting it down to the fact that my garden isn’t as neat and tidy as it used to be (overgrown really) and as a result there are loads of natural habitats forming with leaves and debris left on the ground.

Definitely giving this a go ….must dash to see what I can find.

Thanks Naomi. It’s a fantastic project for kids and there’s always great excitement when they see the various little creatures that move in 🙂
