In these times of transition, where the natural environment is being witled away, anyone with the desire can get
involved to help sustain the native wild bee population. Karen has an extensive website to show people how to best do this
and she invites enquiries. People can help provide flowers for these bees, as well as provide nesting places for them to
lay their eggs. These are the wild cousins of the honey bees. They are solitary, rather than living in colonies. Their
nests are like tubes or hollow straws, sometimes tunneled into the ground, or in an old rotting log.
