Some bushes has hollow twigs.....
Cut them in the same length as the pallet block.
If you don't have hollow twigs you can make the them by drilling holes in the twigs.
Put the pallet block in place and fill the empty spaces next to it with the hollow tigs.
And your Bee Hotel is done !
Find a nice place in your garden and the wild bees will visit the Hotel.
