How do I get bees in my greenhouse?

[SunCoaster]

I am having problems with caterpillers, mini grasshopers etc in my garden and am thinking about building a greenhouse as an organic way of pest control... BUT... I get heaps of native bees pollinating my current garden also.

I am considering my own stingless bee hive and some how positioning it where the "Bee door" is beside a small enough hole (so no other pests find it) in the wall of the GH so if they go left it's into my garden and right it's the rest of the neighbourhood (for example).

My question therefore is how do I get ONLY bees into my green house?

Bee hive with 2 openings. One to the outside world and the other to inside the green house.

Good idea 99.

I didn't know they came with two openings, but it means the pests have to fight their way through the hive to get my plants and if they can do that, they deserve some.

Hi dj1,

I have problems with keeping my bees in greenhouses because the diffused light messes with navagation a lot of bees end up just dead in the corners trying to get out even with openings on both sides.

No personal experience with bees in a greenhouse, but have been beekeeping for a few years and from everything I've read the honeybees don't fair well. Look into bumblebees if you're looking for something to do pollination in a greenhouse.
