I will not vote as "I don't know".
And opinions are irrelevant. After all, people thought witches killed people.
FACTS count. |

The question has already been answered, there is enough peer reviewed science out there now that proves it.
Everything else is just smoke & mirrors posted by the agrochem boysb & their friends. |

Conserving wild bees
Research suggests that bumble bee boxes have a very low success rate in actually attracting bees into them. We find that if you create an environment where first of all you can attract mice inside, such as a pile of stones, a drystone wall, paving slabs with intentionally made cavities underneath, this will increase the success rate.
Most bumble bee species need a dry space about the size a football, with a narrow entrance tunnel approximately 2cm in diameter and 20 cm long. Most species nest underground along the base of a linear feature such as a hedge or wall. Sites need to be sheltered and out of direct sunlight.
There is a spectacular display of wild bee hotels here
