#41: A Bumblebee Nester

Bee hotels are great for solitary bees, but for bumblebees that form small hives, they need something a little more roomy. Normally, they nest in places like abandoned rodent burrows, but have been known to make homes in everything from overturned flower pots to tree hollows.

A small wooden or ceramic nesting box, combined with bumblebee-friendly forage like clover nearby, will surely attract the critters to your yard.
