I guess the rule or thumb is if half the tubes are full one has to buy a bigger hotel? ;)<br>/cc <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipping.rocks/@colinpurrington" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>colinpurrington</span></a></span> <a href="https://secluded.ch/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://secluded.ch/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://secluded.ch/tags/insecthotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insecthotel</span></a></p>

Colin Purrington<p>Just another scene from the observation wing of my backyard insect hotel. I don't know whether they turn around after entering or whether they back in. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/InsectHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InsectHotel</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/BeeHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeeHotel</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/osmia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>osmia</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a></p>
Colin Purrington<p>Just an example of an insect hotel you should never, ever buy. The jagged ends of the reeds can damage the wings of mason bees as they try to back out. Splinters might even trap them inside. Manufactured by Dobar (Gronau, Germany) and sold by Lidl. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/InsectHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InsectHotel</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/BeeHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeeHotel</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pollinators</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/lidl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lidl</span></a></p>
Colin Purrington<p>In bee news, male Osmia are showing up at the insect hotel in my back yard (Swarthmore, PA, USA). The females never choose to use these tunnels, sadly, opting instead for the smaller, paper-lined cavities in the wood blocks. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/InsectHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InsectHotel</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/BeeHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeeHotel</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/MasonBees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MasonBees</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pollinators</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a></p>
