March 13, 2021 count down to Pi day 1 more day

 Once again, careful inspection revealed no bees anywhere in the yard, on walls or on mason bee condo.

High temperature approached 60 degrees F, so I thought today would be the day.  Tomorrow is Pi day (3.14) so maybe the bees are waiting for their favorite day.

March 11, 2021 count down to Pi day 3

 I examined the mason bee condos very carefully. No activity was found.  And no bees were on any walls.

I have a couple pieces of black plastic on the south wall but neither piece attracted any bees. (Black is quite warm in the sun, so it should be a good spot for a mason bee to rest.)

March 8, 2021 count down to Pi day 6

 No bees seen today. No tubes filled today, No cocoons seen to be broken today.

All in all, a day of no action


It appears that daily high temps will be above 50 for nearly every day in March.  Bees should soon be quite active.

March 7, 2021 count down to Pi day 7

 Cool temperature, rain and a good dose of hail. Bees must have just kept hunkered down. Did not see any today.
