MAKE A BEE HOTEL
With these materials, you can help solitary bees find a place to call home
KIT LIST
A large metal tin or other cylindrical waterproof container
Paper straws String Scissors
Low-VOC paint (optional)
1 FIND YOUR
MATERIALS
To create a spacious home, make sure your cylindrical container is at least ten centimetres deep. If you don’t have paper straws, find some paper and you can make your own.
2 MAKE THE ROOMS
If you don’t have straws, take a piece of paper and a pencil and roll the paper into tubes the same width as the pencil. These tubes need to be slightly shorter than your container’s length, and you’ll need to make enough tubes to fill its centre.
