RE: A closer look at Solitary Bees Part 3: A fight breaks out

in ecoTrain5 years ago

I've been curious about the holes in the bee boards for a while so I'll ask. Most of your bee boards are stacks so the holes are half circles but some are stacked so they are full circles. Do the bees show any preference to using the large full circle homes or the smaller half circle homes?

Sort:  

They seem to prefer the small circles or the large crescent shaped holes. The large circular holes they do not seem to care for at all. The small crescent shaped holes are used some big not as much as others.

I was curious about this myself too, now I know what sizes to focus on.
