I’m new to bee hotels. Tell me more. What other sizes should be included?

Not much to see yet, but I'm encouraged that at least some leafcutter bees are showing up for the launching of a new bee hotel this season. Leafcutter bees are important pollinators and are solitary cavity-nesting insects.

I'm experimenting with a small dead hedge. The benefits include providing a wildlife habitat, food source for insects and thus other birds and animals, waste reduction (no more burning the brush pile!), natural pest control, and aesthetic appeal. And except for my time, it was free! #conservation
