The length of time wild bees need to build nests depends on various factors such as the species, environmental conditions and the availability of nesting materials.
Wild bees usually stay in the insect hotel during their activity period, which can vary depending on the region and time of year.
Wild bees usually go into hibernation in the fall to survive the cold temperatures.
In winter, wild bees reduce their activity and spend most of their time in a resting state in their nests or hiding places, where they protect themselves from the cold.
The biodiversity of wild bees varies depending on location and environment. In Germany, for example, there are over 560 species of wild bees, including mason bees, fur bees, bumblebees, scissor bees and many more. To find out which wild bee species occur in your area, local identification books, websites or experts can be consulted.
Wild bees use the collected nectar to produce honey, which they store in their nests to feed their larvae.
What is special about wild bees is that they have a wide variety of species and adaptations to survive in different habitats and play an important role as pollinators of plants.
Flowers such as lavender, cornflower, sunflower, clover, thyme and various herbs are good for wild bees because they are rich in nectar and pollen.
Depending on the species and environment, wild bees emerge from the insect hotel at different times, usually in spring or summer.
Wild bees spend the winter resting in their nests, usually in protected areas such as underground, in dead wood or other hiding places.
To protect wild bees, you can grow flowering plants, provide nesting aids, avoid using pesticides and create habitats with suitable nesting sites.
The larvae of wild bees look different depending on the species, but can usually be worm-like and are surrounded by a protective layer of cells.
Wild bees include various species such as sand bees, mason bees, fur bees, bumblebees and many more.
There are a variety of wild bee species in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), including various mason bees, sand bees, fur bees and other species.
The wild bees spend the winter in protected areas such as underground, in dead wood or other hiding places, where they remain in a state of rest.
In winter, wild bees rest in their nests, where they protect themselves from the cold and wait for warmer temperatures to become active again.
When honey bees are infested with mites, they can suffer from varroosis, a serious parasitic disease that affects their health and population.
The exact number of honey bees in the world varies by region and season, but estimates run into the billions.
The main difference between wild and honey bees is that honey bees have been domesticated and live in man-made hives, while wild bees nest in different habitats in nature.
If there were no more honey bees, it would have serious impacts on crop pollination, food production and the ecosystem as a whole, as honey bees play an important role as pollinators.
There are over 500 species of honey bees in Europe.
The number of honey bees in Switzerland varies depending on the season and other factors, but can range from hundreds of thousands to millions.
There are over 500 species of honey bees in Austria.
The main difference between honey bees and "killer bees" (also known as Africanized honey bees) is their behavior. Africanized honey bees are more aggressive and respond more quickly to disturbances compared to domesticated honey bees.
To attract wild bees to your garden, you can grow flowering plants, provide nesting aids, avoid using pesticides and create habitats with suitable nesting sites.
Some plants are pollinated exclusively by wild bees, including many wildflowers and herbs.
Wild bees store their honey in their nests to feed their larvae.
The length of time it takes for wild bees to hatch depends on various factors, but can usually be a few weeks to months.
A nesting aid for wild bees can be made from various materials such as wood, bamboo canes or clay to provide suitable nesting sites.
The larvae of wild bees can look different depending on the species, but are usually worm-like and surrounded by a protective layer of cells.
The exact number of wild bee species on Earth is difficult to determine, but estimates run into the thousands.
There are over 560 species of wild bees in Germany.
The number of wild bees living in a colony depends on the species but can range from hundreds to thousands.
The brood of wild bees consists of eggs, larvae and pupae, which are located in special cells in the nesting aids.
Hatching of wild bees usually takes a few weeks to months, depending on the species and environmental conditions.
A nest of wild bees can look very different depending on the species and lifestyle, but it can, for example, consist of a ground floor with individual nesting tunnels or be built in cavities in wood or plant stems.
To attract wild bees to the garden, you can grow bee-friendly plants, set up nesting aids such as insect hotels or nesting boxes and avoid using pesticides.
In winter, many species of wild bees overwinter as adults in their nests, while other species overwinter in their nesting tunnels as eggs or larvae.
To prevent wild bees on the terrace, you can offer nesting aids such as insect hotels or nesting boxes and create alternative nesting places outside the terrace.
To combat wild bees in the ground, you can offer alternative nesting places such as insect hotels or nesting boxes and leave the affected areas alone, as wild bees are important pollinators and are generally not aggressive.
Tubes for wild bees should be between 5 and 10 cm long, depending on the type and size of the wild bees.
