No bees yet. Not that I expect any, but there is always a possibility of a strange occurrence.
I removed the bag of cocoons from the north side of the shed. I positioned them so escape is extremely easy, yet totally protected from rain.
If none of the cocoons survive I will, of course, be disappointed. The condos will then need to be populated by natural populations. This is possible. I will keep an eye on the cocoons and see if an emergence occurs.
