October 16, 2019 Reset for the mason bee house

I removed all the cocoons from the bamboo tubes.  I found lots of parasitic
wasp larvae. I found may fungus layden cocoons.

I saved roughly 60 cocoons.  I hope I did a good job. We shall see on or about
pi-day, 2020.

I plan to use a mix of the wood trays, new bamboo tubes and diy paper tubes.
We will see if any of my work is rewarded with filled tubes.

I mounted the cleaned house on the side of my shed.  I put the cocoons in a air screen
type of bag.

Nothing more to do.  Now we just wait for results in 5 months.
