@Broadfork@mastodon.green can I recommend a different bee hotel for you? I have recently bought a bee hotel that you can disassemble and clean during the winter, so to decrease the parasite and predator load that tend to acumulate on these hotels, and increase the chances of survivability of the new bee generation. These drilled wood blocks are a bit suboptimal, as there are polen mites that tend to starve the bee larvae and beetles that eat the larvae after a couple of years of use.
