Does anyone know a source, citation or bill of materials for
constructing nest boxes to attract bumblebees?
I know this has been done before, I think in Canada.
Any hints on discouraging skunk predatation or parasitism and
nest box location would be appreciated.
 
Also, about blue orchard bee, can anyone recommend dimesions
for boards and drilling of holes (size and depth) to attract
these bees?
