    There are many more species of bees at risk than just honey bees! Theres a lot of wild bee species that dont swarm/are solitary and are still crucial to local ecosystems. Research what native bee species are in your area and what you can do to on your property to facilitate them.

      Google “bee hotels” for ideas on solitary bees. Stupid simple to make with scrap wood and proper sized drill bits. Research your area for hole sizes!

      Really gratifying to find some girls made a home and waxed it shut! Never got to see any emerge though, luck of the draw.
