I'm building some bumblebee nest boxes this year in hopes of encouraging
bumblebees to move in. I saw not one honeybee up here last year, but
did see bumblebees. Also, bumblebees are active every day and in cooler
temps than the honeybees, so that should help with some more difficult
fruits like apricots and peaches.
Plans for a bumblebee nestbox are on the web at:
