My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

digger bee nests

16 years ago

Somewhere on the web, I have seen a cross section of how a digger bee makes it's nest in the soil. These are solitary bees and I wanted to use this cross section for a talk. I could draw it myself, but I would like to be as accurate as possible. If you know, let me know

Thanks Penny
