One of the best presentations about Mason Bees thanks!

[@schwimmermoe]

Thank you so much! That was very informative. It was fun and enjoyable as well to watch your present your expertise to all of us out there.

[@Haze1434]

Thank you, very informative.

[@PennsylvaniaPrepper]

Very informative video. One thing I noticed though, that is extremely confusing to me as a beginner, is the use of the phrase 'about now' in reference to the timing of when things should be done. It would be much more informative to name the specific month or season.

Freakin LOVED the end!

This was a great video! Can I make my own mason bee attractant (pheromone?) ? Rather than buy them? I know that lemongrass works for honeybees. What about the blue orchard bees? - thank you!

pussywillows are a nice spring snack -- good luck

I see these bees looking for holes on the porch. Thought they were honey bees... So it's June so I'm too late putting up my bee box. 😯 Oh well I'll just leave it for next spring

I am having fun encouraging my 'God-Daughters son and my nieces two young daughters to join in on the fun.

Could you tell me please what to do with a Mason bee house that I purchased that has no straws in it? How do I get the bees out without tearing the house apart? At the time I did not know it was for Mason bees and had no comprehension of how to do it and thought it was for honey bees or anything else that might come along that needed a place to lay its eggs and now that I know, I realize that it was just a novelty that was being sold at the dollar store.

What direction do the Mason bee prefer their house to face? Seems like there are mixed thoughts on these. Most of the web is saying they should be facing south or southwest, but some say they do not like too much sun or wind. and they recommend north or east. We have 2 at the community garden, one faces south and the other faces east, seems like the one that faces east is all full up with nests, but the south hardly has any occupancy. What do you recommend?
