FYI, Dad put my bee box up. I'll take a picture of it whenever I go outside. Having a lot of fibromyalgia pain today so I'm taking it easy. I like the idea of helping the native, solitary bees. Also, there's no way I have the energy to maintain a beehive so this seems like a good alternative. I'll keep tabs on it and I was thinking if it does well, maybe I could set up a couple more around the yard. I put this one right next to my "official" butterfly garden because it recommended placing the box near nectar flowers so the bees don't have to spend too much energy finding food.

In case you forgot, this is the bee box I bought from a vendor at the FL Wildflower Foundation Symposium. She sells on Etsy, too. Her website has good info even if you don't buy anything: http://www.creativegardenstruc...
