As Marc says give them as much sun as possible and make sure there's suitable nesting material nearby. You won't just get bees but also solitary wasps as well hopefully.
i started with a bee house on a south facing wall last spring and now I have 4 nearly all full, the first one i put up didnt really start to fill up until late April/May and when nothing had happened by early April I thought they had died then we had those 2 hot weeks and boom they were out and mating and moving on to the next house so off to Aldi to buy another one at the weekend. How does it get better than that?
