2013-03-03 Mason Bees emerging


We put up these canes 2 years ago, for the Mason bees which were inhabiting our wall…..ever year they emerge on a sunny day, and then seem to lay eggs back in the canes and presumably die. this year we had a really hot day, they have emerged, and then it rained hard for 3 days….so now i don’t know what they will do……the more sensible one are still in the canes !

Two Youtube videos of the bees......taken in April when they emerged and were busy, the first one there are two males fighting over a female :O)
