That’s a great idea. One of my friends built one - looks much better than the commercial ones: https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdU7U7hqnT/?igshid=1sj6z5ebhb7yc > On 11 Dec 2020, at 07:47, David Mann wrote: > > We have a hanging planter which has about a dozen holes around it. I've >

Very interesting, Dave. Do it before you change your mind! I can't say I've ever seem a Bumblebee nest, only individuals buzzing around. Glad to read about the Cathedral(s) too but surprised it took so long to make the necessary decisions. Most of it doesn't actually look that unsound. Alan

We have a hanging planter which has about a dozen holes around it. I've recently noticed that bumblebees have been landing in the holes to rest at night. I had to use my phone for this because the K10D doesn't have enough sensitivity. It's quite a heavy crop so it's not too good technically.
