March 29, 2019 Mason Bee update

March 29

I just checked the bees.  Condo-2 has 6 filled bamboo tubes. Several other tubes have shown activity so I expect several other tubes to be filled in a few days.

Condo-1 has yet to display much activity.  I know my  paper diy tubes are simply too large in diameter,  I would say the diameters are 8 or 9 mm. Just too big.

The position of condo-2 is basically on the west side of the building.  The position of
condo-1 is on the southwest corner.   According to many sources, the condos should
be on a northeast corner of a building with full morning sun.

I was at a grocery store today. I purchased some paper straws. I will be installing them in vacant spaces, I hope they will attract some bees.
