    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I think I'll inquire about these native bee hives.

    Redneck I think you will find you may feel the same with social Native bee suppliers. $500 for a hive is probably not much, but considering the bees do all the work $100 for the human component would be more realistic. Secretive mob the old native bee crowd. Happy to sell you a book, or a hive, but tend to be short on anything else. Happy to come and remove a hive as well, easy money so to speak.

    Generally the bees are not much good for honey, it's possible but you usually destroy the hive to get little return. Pollinating plants and contributing to the food chain is there best strength, and nice to have just hanging around.

    For solitary bees,
    You can bunch a heap of small plastic or bamboo tubes together, or drill 10mm diameter and 50 to 70mm deep holes into a block of wood and hang it in a shady place. Solitary bees like to use them for nesting. Wasps, and some caterpillars will also utilise the holes. All good food chain stuff since most people like to knock off the spiders, the birds have to eat something.
