mom, that's interesting. Haven't met a beekeeper before.

My younger brother had a "bee hotel" in his yard. It was a piece of plywood nailed to his garage.....had a whole bunch of holes drilled in it where bees could relax/sleep. (?) He said most bees are solitary

They were the ones sleeping in his "hotel."
Coincidentally, my oldest brother had a "bat hotel" in his yard. Looked just like a bird house.
