I purchased a bee hotel from Costco and 2 more for relatives. They are
made from hollow bamboo laid horizontally and are purported to provide
shelter for bee larvae. The following article says that these hotels
increase pollen mites and allow a certain fungal growth to compete
against the larvae.

A study indicates that these houses are used more by wasps and
non-native bees

Does anybody have any thoughts on this or experience with these bee hotels?
