Bee Hotels - Our contribution to World Bee Day - Elvis & Kresse

May 19, 2022

We have mostly been planting trees at New Barns Farm, but we have also been dealing with long dead trees. What is our plan? We are strategically stacking wood to create wildlife habitats. Smaller branches that would blow away are chipped for our compost. But the stumps? We are transforming these into bee hotels by drilling holes, or rooms for the bees to colonise.

Here is our quiet boutique hotel, tucked away between an Apple Tree and a Rose Bush in a secluded spot on the farm.
