We discovered that a nest of bumblebees took over 'Mama's House' shelter! I had cleaned out the old straw from The Cat Hotel, and was doing the same to Mama's House, when I saw bees flying all around me. I stepped away, and then peeked over the edge and watched the furry, fat bees wriggling around in the straw!
Just after dark, The Hubby and I carried Mama's House out the the back of our yard, and set it up on bricks so the bumblebees can continue their residency until it gets cold again. The PO'M and Sweetie only use The Cat Hotel, but I've kept Mama's House ready in case we had a new cat visitor or as a less-insulated, summer abode.

WOW, you have feral bees!
ReplyDeleteWhat a very cool bees nest/house that you had hung up. I guess they like Mama's House better now.
ReplyDeletelol.. feral bees, I love it. I wish I could put up a bee house but my husband has a near phobia about bees and wasps and he would really hate it.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Bees need all the help they can get. We hope you don't get any of those hybrid ones that are aggressive :(
ReplyDeleteI luv bees. We get all kinds, 'cause Mom has lots of flowers in the garden. The fat bees are my favs! Did you know that they wear yellow socks?! Tee hee hee. Mom asks if you get pesky wasps trying to take over the bee house? We get lots of pesky wasps in our yard.
ReplyDeleteBumblebees got a nice home for this summer :-)

ReplyDeleteI've heard so many different challenges modern bees are experiencing - I bet Mother Earth thanks you for taking care of her creatures.
ReplyDeleteThank you from the heart for taking care of those bees and also relocating Mama'a house. And a bee house! I would love one.
