Very cool video. I was considering also keeping mason bees next year-it's neat to see their lifecycle illustrated so concisely. Thank you!

[@karlathompson001]

You should. They are very entertaining and wonderful pollinators if you have the need.

I started keeping them this year, it's wonderful to watch, I wish I'd done it sooner.

What a wonderful and informative video. How long did that film take it has some excellenct videography.

[@karlathompson001]

Natalie Fisher that is shot over a couple of weeks going out for an hour or two every couple of days. Glad you enjoyed it.

Beautiful filming and very educational! :) I gonna try to do something similar for when my bee larve hatch from my hotel. I am a newby in video making, I cant for the life of me close up on a tiny object in video mode. The background stays sharp and the object I wanna film stays blurred. Even after selecting the object on my touch screen to focus on. (I do most things on automatic setting. So if you have a tip how, let me know :)

[@jkbish1]

my bees love the bamboo tubes and most do not use the routed wood. Any ideas how to make the routed wood trays more attractive?
