That “cute” cheap bee hotel from big box stores may look appealing, but it may be actually killing the bees.
The poor design causes trapped moisture, mold, parasites, and the bees cannot escape.
What seems helpful turns into a death trap for their babies.
If you really want to help the bees, skip the cheap decorations and plant native flowers or properly built nesting holes.
Let’s work together to Save the Bees🪶
For more information about bees check out this documentary on DisneyPlus call The Secret Life of Bees.
