There are over 20,000 species of bee worldwide, each with its own unique behaviours, life cycles and lifestyles. This course explores the varied nesting ecology of UK bee species and the particular niches they inhabit. We also look at the guidance given to help inform those who wish to provide artificial nesting sites for the UK’s native bee species.
