Nisthilfen für Wildbienen
Nesting aids are artificially produced or near-natural breeding alternatives for insects. They should be made in a species-appropriate manner and of high quality.
Before building, you should study the life of the insects intensively.
Don't hesitate to start small. In the second year your reed box could be fully built up. Around 250-300 mason bees hatch in spring.
250-300 hatching bees
Natural or artificial nesting aids
In a Wild bee corner can be used to create breeding opportunities for peanuts, cavity, wall, marrow stalk and dead wood inhabitants.
Erdnister
Create a sandarium
Sand or lean bed
unused sandpit
quiet earth or meadow areas
Unused sandpits, sand or lean beds, a sandarium or unmanaged earth and meadow areas in the garden are suitable for peanuts.
Cavity-resident
Reeds or bamboo tubes
Cardboard tubes
Cavity nests such as mason bees are very fond of using reeds. The length should be between 10-20cm and the inside diameter of 5-9mm.
Cardboard tubes from mason beekeeping are an artificial alternative. But these are accepted very differently.
Elderberry and japanese Knotweed
native reed stalks
Elderberry or japanese My bees take knotweed very little at. Local reeds, on the other hand, are a big hit every year.
In the wild, many species of wild bees use beetles' feeding tunnels in dead wood.
A drilled block of hardwood mimics this and is well received.
According to their body size, the females look for suitable nesting tubes.
Medullary stem - residents
Few types gnaw their nesting passage in pithy plant stems. To do this, use them individually and vertically dead stalks, e.g. Blackberries, roses or Mullein.
Cut the stalks about 60cm long. You put them individually in the beds or
attach them individually to the fence or to the nesting aid.
Stecken Sie diese senkrecht oder leicht schräg (80 Grad)
z.B. in die Beete. Man kann die Ruten auch am Zaun oder
direkt am Nisthäuschen befestigen.
Totholz - Bewohner
Einige Wildbienenarten nisten in altem Totholz und Morschholz. Ihren Nistgang nagen Sie sich mit ihren kräftigen Mundwerkzeugen selbst ins Holz hinein.
Ein typischer Totholz-Bewohner ist z.B. die Schwarzblaue Holzbiene.
Natürliche Nistplätze sind abgestorbene Bäume, oft Obstbäume. Das Holz wird mit der Zeit morsch und die Bienen können es nutzen
Eine künstliche Nisthilfe für Morschholzbewohner ist z.B. ein Holzstamm im Garten. Er sollte sonnig und trocken stehen. Ein kleines Dach schützt vor eindringendem Wasser.
