The Adelaide Linear Park Bee hotels are buzzing with life! π πOne of my favourite visitors is this Ghost wasp, Gasteruption mixtum. π»These sleek insects are on a mission, diligently searching for native bee nests to lay their eggsπ΅οΈββοΈ #waspwatch #beehotel #wildadelaide
Days 1 + 2 of #30DaysWild spent checking tadpoles for signs of Legs and counting how many holes in our #beehotel are occupied! Lincs Wildlife Trust :) πΈππππ¦
Just completed this bee/bug hotel in the shape of #IsleofWight . Bees deserve #pureIslandhappiness too. #bughotel #bees #beehotel
Absolutely iconic #insecthotel near my office at BioSciences UniMelb University of Melbourne; incredible use of a no-longer used doorway. It brings me so much joy to visit the #bees and see who is home on different days and in different seasons ππ #beehotel #urbanbiodiversity #pollinators
Great to see a hive of activity at the #beehotel today. Red mason bee (Osmia bicornis) males jostling to be first in line for an emerging female... only to find a freshly hatched male, who left a little gift π π

We are talking #Masonbees and best management practices!!!
Cleaning of the bee pupae reduces pressure from mites, parasitoids, predators, diseases and fungi.
The first house is a rolled paper house.

Surely there is no better feeling than finding #nativebees in your #bee hotel !? Apparantly these are a type of masked #bee . I took the first photo then noticed another bee looking out at me top left! β€οΈππ

This week we celebrate #WorldEnvironmentDay π Help support bees and #biodiversity by building your own backyard #beehotel ! ππ¨
For Christmas I made my dad his very own #beehotel , along with a #murnong daisy 'crop' in a pot plant (a staple food of the Wurundjeri people, the #traditionalowners of the land we live). He's going to be so excited! ππΌ
