RE: Carpenter bees in my insect hotel

Oh my... A insect hotel! 😍🙏... What a wonderful idea, I’ve never seen anything like it here!... You’ve given me a great idea to help a certain type of wasp we have here, and they usually make their nests like this, but from time to time they can use holes in humans houses, like cracks in wood on roofs, and we’ve even had them nest in things like garden hoses that are rarely used and even electrical outlets!... People often get irritated when their nests are made in the wrong places and destroy them or even fumigate them... 😞 In our house we learned to live with these wasps and we simply respect their nest until they complete their birth cycle (because they use these holes to store their eggs until they hatch)... In fact, these days we have some nesting somewhere on the roof of our corridor 😍, I can tell by the sound they make, but I haven’t dedicated myself to looking for them to observe them... Excellent article, very interesting @friendlymoose friend!

They are quite common over here. You can find them in any large garden center.
Yes, insects are great, but I don't want them in my house either. This way I have them around and we help them a bit.
But you can easily build one yourself.
