At #WellandCommunityOrchard they have a wall of #BeeCondos for #NativeBees / #pollinators ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ
These tiny homes are used by #BlueOrchardMasonBees & #LeafcutterBees & #SandWasps & some other native bees.

Honeybees provide us with honey & beeswax but they aren't native here.

#VancouverIsland is home to at least 30 different native bee species. Almost all of these native bees are solitary.
