April 17 , 2020 big increase in mason bee nesting

Going to visit the bee condos. Will report back when new information
is gathered The bees are working dawn until dark.  Condo#2
has put itself in the top position with about 20 filled tubes.  Condo#1
 is showing about 16 tubes.

Bees are using bamboo tubes, routed trays, paper tubes and
cardboard tubes.  This is totally different from last year.

Last year only condo#2 had bees. Last year only bamboo tubes
 contained cocoons. Something changed.  I have no idea what
cause my bees to be not picky about
where to nest.

It is interesting.
