Making a mason bee home is a fun project for you<br />
and your family. Your children will learn a lot just by<br />
observing the habits of the mason bee. Hollowed out<br />
bamboo shoots make a good home; wooden blocks<br />
and some recommend paper lined cardboard tubes as<br />
well. A warning here though that wasps could work their<br />
way through the paper and set up their own hives. Other<br />
types of recyclable nesting boxes can be purchased<br />
online. They should be easy to take apart and clean and<br />
dry thoroughly and very carefully, ensuring the safety<br />
of the eggs in order to clear away mites, parasites and<br />
other infectious risks to the colony.<br />
Letter from the<br />
Publisher<br />
The ideal location for mason nests is facing the south so<br />
they can warm themselves before flight as temperatures<br />
start to rise. Position this not more than a couple of<br />
hundred feet from their food source. Females also<br />
require a source of mud - open ground - to gather mud<br />
for their eggs.<br />
As mason bees only live 10 to 12 weeks, it’s important<br />
that you are educated on how best to look after and<br />
serve these invaluable little creatures, while they serve<br />
you in your garden as effective workers and vitally<br />
important pollinators.<br />
