Where do Irish Solitary Bees nest?

Reduced food (flowers) and safe nesting places have contributed to the decline of our ever so important solitary bees. So, how can we help solitary bees? We all know providing food (flowers) for pollinators is essential, but how many of us know the importance of providing a safe nesting place and home for this endangered species? You can create your own shelter or buy a ready-made bee hotel (link below). A bee and insect hotel is a specially made habitat that can house the solitary bee, mason bee and protect other insects such as butterflies and ladybirds.
