Thanks for posting. I made a hotel a while back and found a wood treatment that had been specifically designed for use inside bee hives, not sure if anyone else has come across this?
This is awesome, I'll have to add it to the list of resources at some point when I'm not working haha

Thank you! I'd heard the mass produced ones weren't great, but the people I'd heard that from never had details.
Helpful article! I wasn't aware of this issue. Thank you!
To add to the points made in the article, another important method of providing pollinators with habitat is to leave fall leaves down (if applicable to your area). https://www.xerces.org/blog/leave-the-leave
Dead leaves also make a good mulch.
Thanks for sharing! Found it very helpful.
