Bienen Hotel
Bee hotel. I wonder how attractive these man-made sanctuaries are for the bees. This one is a couple of years old.

Who and why
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments. Camera and other information at the foot of the page. 20150322

Camera information
My current camera is an Olympus OM-D E-M10 (2014). Main lens: Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. Zoom/macro: Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8. Until mid-2014 I had an Olympus PEN-EP2 (2010). Up until June 2010 I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ7 (2006). Occasionally there may appear photos taken with either a Nikon Coolpix 950 that I've had since 2000 or a used Nikon Coolpix 990 I acquired in 2009.

Hi Z!
Bees die in the Hives killed by the chemical treatments. in the sunflower fields.
I like very much the stand of the mailbox you showed in your previous post.
What an interesting photo. I have never heard of artificial hives that look like this.
Hi bloggers
With this typ of "hotel" you give solitary and communal bees a home.

Thanks Wellingtonia I have never heard of solitary bees.
What if the bees don't read German? How will they know this is their hotel? ;-)
Hi Halcyon
Only people need explaining.
Bees use it if they found such homes;--)
Wellingtonia
Never seen an artificial bee hive let alone a picture. Great shot and thank you for sharing it
