The "Underground Bunker" for Bumblebees

The "Underground Bunker" for Bumblebees Making a bumblebee nest 8,2,26 Most bumblebees nest underground—so let's build them a bunker in my Cornish hedge. The "Underground Bunker" for Bumblebees 🐝🌿 While we focus on honeybees in hives, our wild Bumblebee queens are searching for the perfect underground cavity to start their colony. Today, I'm "rewilding" a section of my Cornish hedge to create a protected, dry nesting site. The Build The Site, Clearing back brambles and grass in a quiet corner. The Cavity, Digging a small trench to house the "chamber." The Insulation, Filling a terracotta pot with dry leaves, wood flakes, straw is also good. (Bumbles love a cozy, pre-furnished home!) The Entrance: Installing a pipe "tunnel" into the trench to mimic a natural mouse hole. The Install, Bedding the pot into the earth for natural insulation and topping the drainage hole with a stone to keep the rain out. The Marker, A simple rope fence so I don’t accidentally strim my new neighbors! It’s a simple way to boost biodiversity in your own garden or apiary. Plus, watching them find the "tunnel" entrance later in the spring is incredibly rewarding. #BumblebeeHome #CornishHedge #WildlifeGardening #DIYConservation
