A share of a visual what to put in Bee/Insect "Condos" that are free of perfume, dye, chemicals and pesticides. After seeing dryer sheets, dyed yarn and pet fur laced with flea and tick pesticides, etc. and other potentially toxic materials added to these on other sites, thought this is a great example of safe things to add.
