If you don't harvest your Mason bee cocoons in fall? Believe it or not, straight to jail.

It's kind of cold, so that's probably why they aren't motivated to fly, but it is also about the end of their lifespan. The next generation are in the cells the females have built in the tubes. I will harvest them this fall/winter. Hopefully, early enough to sell a bunch back to @crownbees.

I purchased one of those nesting homes for solitary bees. They love it! I got mine from CrownBees. Many garden centers sell similar ones. Instructions for making your own abound.

Excited for bee season! 🐝

I was introduced to Mason Bee beekeeping last year and I love them so much. They're such effective pollinators, and very friendly!

CrownBees has been an excellent resource if you're in WA and looking to do the same! #MyBeeHouse

Beware Carpet Beetles while harvesting.

These pests eat pollen, chew through mud, destroy developing Mason bees, and can spread fast. 🐞🐝

Excellent Native bee source: @CrownBees and read all before @colinpurrington.bsky.social - fantastic!
Native bees rely on “keystone” plants that they have symbiotic relationships with, critical for their survival. 🌵In San Diego your cactus bees are at risk of extinction, they need you! 🌱
