No bees yet.
Mason-bees are one of the groups of native bees.
When midsummer is in full swing, the most common bee in my yard are the bumblebees.

No bees yet. I am keeping my eye on the condos.
I plan to photograph the first emergence.
I used crayola white pottery clay to plug the ends of paper tubes. I plan to buy a large amount to provide females with clay for the cocoons.

No bees yet. I am checking the condos every day. While I realize the bees usually do not show up until late February, I am just checking to be sure.
The white tubes are rolled paper. The other tubes are cut from black bamboo. Each tube is from 4 to 5 inches long. All tubes are blocked at the inner end.
The roofs of the bee condos are 1/8 inch styrofoam.
Condo north has a few tubes which are loosely tossed into the upper room (three vertical lines at top of condo)
