beautiful bee homes to see
Planolinda---I bought two of his Mason Bee boxes and they are beautiful. My DH couldn't believe how gorgeous they were and said they were too nice to hang outside. I did it anyway, of course, but at least there is an overhang on the greenhouse and I put it on the east end wall. Now, I can't wait to see if they hatch. Last time I checked, it looked like there was some plugging going on. Hope so.
oh i look forward to hearing of your results! i see from your name you are a bee lover!
Yes, I am, and all the other wonderful creatures in my garden as well.
Do these come with a queen or eggs? I have few masons in my garden and would like more.
No--no eggs. I think the idea is.... provide a nesting spot and they will come.
