After a shocking start for them (emerging on a hot day followed by torrential rain for three days) the mason bees seem to have done very well this year, we were tempted to put up more canes, but enough is enough ! see how they seal of the ends of the canes with mud each evening…..and then finally for the whole of the summer and winter to emerge again next march. the little ones with white noses are the males, you can see them peeping out of the canes if you zoom in !
Procreating, their sole purpose in life…….
A very busy bee day !
