Has anyone here built a "bee hotel"? And if so, have you had success with it? I've built a butterfly hotel at the wife's request. I was skeptical about its use. But, with the proper tree bark inside, and place in a shady spot..... it does get used extensively. So maybe a bee hotel would work?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I have heard that the butterfly home doesn't attract butterflies. I will research the bark.
Bee hotels attract Mason bees which are a domestic species. They plaster mud over the hole. I have some terra cotta colored drainage tiles that have holes in the sides which they like also. Sun or shade the hotels get lots of use.
