Solitary Bees are all around us, although most of us only notice honey bees (or thelack thereof). This should change.
All bees deserve to be encouraged and with my little project I want to show that we can increase the population of gentle non-agressive solitary bees (especially mason bees) by providing simple home-made habitats.
Join me in this project, subscribe to my updates and lets get talking about what we can do.

	rosmarinusofficialis (1 month ago) I just looked at your video about the miner bee relocating and commented twice (the same words) and rated twice. Neither activity appears to have registered.
	rosmarinusofficialis (1 month ago) Thank you for subscribing, Paul. I hope you are interested in all wildlife, as I am.
	solitarybee (1 month ago) Annette real cool that your project is developing. 17 tubes sealed mean lots of bees developing next year. Hope the total is higher at the end of the season.
	jonolemon (1 month ago) Content de constater que nous ne sommes pas solitaires dans cette démarche Great channel ! Good Job ! Thank you.
	eccentricoldcow (1 month ago) Super video Paul of the females close ups. I now have 17 nesting tubes filled and sealed.
	sigma1920 (1 month ago) hi, thx 4 sub! ur channel is great. greetings from jpn.
	solitarybee (1 month ago) Thanks to everyone who has subscribed to my channel. The solitary bee expansion project is going very well in 2009, so I hope to hear from anyone interested in doing the same and those who have more questions. Cheers, Paul.
