made from flower pots stacked sideways Hight of 50cm

Hotel consists of logs that are drilled, bamboo, wood with natural beetle holes, herbaceous stems

Roughly north-east and southwest (holes on both sides of a piece of jarrah

Date occupied is approximately when i first noticed the caps. Could have been there longer.

Just a small bit of old milled jarrah with holes drilled in it. Put up in 2018, too late for that season. Now quite weathered.

10 X 15 cm (box size)

1m from veranda floor, 2m from garden floor

happy to reuse nests, uses clay from the area immediately around the hole to seal its nest

1m from veranda floor, 2m from garden floor

Three out of the initial Ten straws were occupied early in the year, recently two new nests have been sealed

A large thin Wasp was hovering around the nest, I didn’t see the actual bees hatch out but the cellophane had large holes in it so assuming it was the bees exit hole when hatching

sighted 4 bees using/sealing chambers, there are others sealed , no sightings

In three holes of the next size up. Can see their heads, mm from edge.

7th July 2019, 19th July 2019

There are possibly a couple of other nests in the hotel built by these bees, and also Megachile nests. The H. nubilosus has used holes that contain the remains of old potter wasp nests.

Never seen any emergence yet so cleabed it out for next spring use

amergence yet so cleaned all holes out for next spring

Resin, but in other holes there is mud and mud mixed with plant matter

Haven't seen anyone emerge, only usually see the ends capped off.

ALthough not a leaf cutter bee, the bee was bringing back green substance to hotel. Also noticed a Gasteruption wasp hanging around hotel NOV 2018

Potted garlic chive flowers, under large conifer with two large basil plants. Next to wall and back patio and garden

Retractable hose & small bee hotels, back patio (cottage block)

Only noticed bees in last two days, had rescued female from waterbowl, reported on facebook; found dead male bees, then noticed using newly installed retractable hose screw holes as chambers. Attempted rudimentary bee hotels, some interest evening 25/2, 26/2. Capped 28/2/19.

Brick wall at front of house near front door approx 20 cm below eave

primarily green with some matter on 9 mm; redish cap on 5 mm and smaller

Megachile aurifrons female (may be another spp present)

was very busy around 17 March with several bees testing hollows. One cap looks like it is about to fall out (26 March 2019). Hotel is made of wood, painted yellow

Wood, bamboo and plastic straws

It's hard to estimate, as I inherited this huge condominium from a friend and it still had some occupants. The bees and wasps are reusing many of the holes.

On brick wall of house north facing but not exposed to direct sunlight

Leaf cutters taking from native Hardenbergia as first choice - now rose plants. Have pictures if needed

Not yet sealed (22/11/2017). Bee not seen again after this date.

Megachile sp. seen removing wood shavings from one part of hotel and placing them in hole.

This is the third time in a few weeks I have seen Megachile bees remove shavings. Picture posted

Capped with bright green leaffy material 27/12/18

Fall 2018 for the first round, but new residents moving in now (June 2019) too

So far we see 5 holes which seem to be occupied. This is the first time I have witnessed any bees using a bamboo piece, which is neat.

No cap yet (Day1.) Filling hole with wood shavings from other part of hotel

Day 2 - bee has completely capped hole with green substance.

East side of brick house, On attached timber, above water heater
