One of the most critical aspects of maintaining a bee hotel is ensuring it’s cleaned out annually.
This essential task prepares the hotel for next season, much like conducting regular health checks for a thriving business.
Without proper maintenance, a bee hotel can quickly become overrun with parasites, leading to a decline in productivity – and ultimately, an empty hotel within just a few years.
In this video, we carefully remove the Red Mason Bee cocoons, along with their protective masonry from each flute, ensuring the bees remain healthy and the hotel is ready to welcome a new generation.
A little effort now makes all the difference for continued success – whether it’s for our bees, our Apprentices, or the future we’re building together.
