Hi, I'm just wondering if you can provide information or point me to some regarding the popular bee or insect hotels.

I'm aware that they are a fad, and many are useless or harmful. But if there is a way to make one here on the Front Range that is both beneficial and safe for insects, I'd love to give it a go. I'd want it to meet the needs of native species (bees, butterflies, etc.), repel predators such as birds, stinging/predatory wasps, and be easy to clean/adapt so it stays safe. It would also be helpful to know which insects would co-habitate nicely and safely and which would require a separate hotel.

Thanks for any help you can give!
