Needing old mouse or vole nests

Hi, I wish to create a Bumble Bee nest box, but I've read that they seldom get used unless you use mouse or vole nest material as packing inside the flowerpot. Something to do with the smell that queen bumbles are geared for. It's a project I wish by BrummieBen

Bird Boxes

year, I don't worry about it. We have a box that has been hidden in shrubbery for years, its impossible to get to it but it hasn't stopped the Bluetits from nesting. Birds will clean out a box themselves so I wouldn't worry about it. Better to provide by staffsmags

Bird box v bird feeding

breezy because its a bit of a wind tunnel with the next door house, so not sure it will be ideal for a bird box. I think your sparrow terrace will be ok on the back of your house - my garden's not that much bigger than yours and sparrows nest in the roofs by Tim Burr
