Provide artificial nest sites for solitary bees
In a replicated trial in two fragments of semiâ€deciduous tropical forest in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, Gazola & Garofalo (2009) reported 16 species of solitary bee using nest boxes comprising bamboo stem sections or cardboard tubes. Overall, 2,708 cardboard tubes inserted in drilled wooden blocks, and 1,619 sections of bamboo cane were placed out for two years from 2000 to 2002. A total of 528 bee nests were recovered.
