I posted a picture on the right of a mason bee getting into his house. I saw this a couple of days ago and it looks like he has a favorite hole picked out to build in. Mason bees are good because they help pollinate vegetables and fruits, and honeybees are becoming more and more scarce. You might be able to see the bee if you enlarge the picture. I had a little box of the bees in their egg cases, but the box blew away and I never found it. Hopefully, the bees will find their way to their new house and start living in it.
One good thing about mason bees, is that they don't sting. I hope to have more housing for them in the future. I ordered my bees from Nichol's Garden Center.
