« How to build a mason bee box. | Main | The phenomenon is particularly important for crops such as almond growing in California »
Materials Needed:
Flexible tubing that is three feet long
Cotton
two and a half gallon bucket
Step one
Find a place to put your bumblebee box. Make a hole in the ground that is four to six inches deep and put the bucket in it with the bottom facing up.
Step two
Make a big enough hole in the side of the bucket. Put cotton inside the bucket. Do not put a lot of cotton in the bucket because it will get in the tubes and clog them up so the bumblebees will not be able to get in.
Step three
Take the three to four feet long tubing and stick it through the hole in the bucket and dig a hole big enough for the tube so it looks like the tube is going under ground because the bees like their homes under ground. This is so the bees can get into the bucket.
Step four
You have finished your bumblebee habitat!
