Mason Bee
I'm primarily a honeybee guy, but I've had people approach me about what it takes to keep Mason Bees. So I decided this year to try them out. I ordered bees, house, tubes and straws. All arrived quickly and in great shape. Here are some points that could use some improvement. 1) There was not instruction as to how to care for the cocoons or how to install them in the house. 2) There was no guidance as to how many tubes would be needed. I purchased the large house and 96 tubes. I should have ordered around 240 tubes to fill the house to the point where the tubes can't be blown out by the wind. With the 96 tubes I had to put a lot of packing material on top of the tubes. Not very appealing to look at. These are two minor points but it would go along way to helping someone that hadn't researched it online.
