Mason Bees


At our meeting this week, there was some discussion about mason bees and wasps that prey on them. Member Chris Chow has sent along the following two links related to our discussion, as well as a couple of photos from her garden, one showing her bee condo, and the other a mason bee alighting on a daffodil.
