Want to help bees in your area? Sarah Peebles writes in:
Create you own “bee house” for wild, solitary-nesting bees. Solitary Dream Homes showcases local bee houses, sculptures and other structures which re-imagine the “mason bee box” as a compelling, inventive and functional nesting space for all local species of wild, tunnel-nesting (solitary) bees, however simple or complex. This initiative features an ongoing photo gallery at our SDH Flickr page, and an upcoming display/sale of bee dreamhouses by Toronto-based artists at The Pollinator Festival June 27 at Evergreen Brickworks in Toronto, Canada.
