In an attempt to make my garden as bee and butterfly friendly as possible (research says that the bee population has decreased by approximately 70% since the 1970s), my partner bought me a bee lodge (or a b&b as a certain person who keeps turning up at my house called it) and a butterfly house. The plan is that these simple shelters will be homes for the bees and butterflies over the winter months. To make them look a bit nicer and also, hopefully, to protect them from the elements I have bought some off white external paint. I also plan to make some homemade bug houses, but i haven't got round to that yet either!
