Howdy, great work with this page so far. One thing that can be improved is the style you use for citations, wikipedia has guidelines for them, you can check out that fun stuff at this link Wikipedia:Citing sources AcuteAccusation (talk) 20:24, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Solitary bees

Perhaps useful to mention:

holes can be put in wood between 2 and 15 mm for these bees (so also holes bigger than 8 mm)
the log should be put off the ground, some 1,5 meter high
orientate on south for warmth (in northern hemisphere; on north in the southern hemisphere)

Notes

This wiki-article is adapted from its Dutch wiki-counterpart.

Usefulness of insect hotels

The article currently says (after an an edit war) that “the suitability of these enclosures for butterflies is disputed”. One source reports investigations on the matter, the conclusion being that butterflies don’t use butterfly hotels. No other source cited in the article reports any investigations on the matter. The second source currently cited just asserts that insect hotels are beneficial, which is, I think, insufficient by Wikipedia standards. Can anybody provide other relevant sources? palpalpalpal (talk) 12:08, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
