Mason Bees
I am considering getting mason bees this year.
Any suggestions, helpful hints, problems to watch for, etc? I have no experience at all.

I just in the last day or two got a vid from 'Crown Bees', if memory is correct it might be about another lesson...I'll check their site and post if that's the case but either way they are great web site for teaching about mason bees.

Note: I can't get their addy link to work just type in Crown Bees and it should pull up their web page for you..much neater than my copy and paste below.. Great info on their site, and I forgot about this presentation and that it was last week, sometimes tho they do a replat so sign up for their weekly 'bee mail'..about 8 to 10 weeks/1 per week email that teaches all about them.
