Countryside Culture Mason Bee Block House

Place this Mason Bee house close to your garden and encourage this helpful animal to pollinate your garden. Mason Bees are smaller and less aggressive than honey bees. They are a solitary bee that usually nests in the empty hollow left in trees by woodpeckers or insects. Often they will nest in the hollow end of a reed or plant stem as well. Since they are non-aggressive, when given a good place to live many bees will nest close together (though they will not work together nor aid each other). The Mason Bee gathers lumps of pollen which is packed into a ball and placed in the back of the nest. A single egg is placed on the pollen ball (which is used as food for the emerging larva) and then the packet is sealed in the tube using mud. A single bee will form several cells in a nest hole before the cold weather forces them into dormancy. Then in the spring, as your new crops begin to bloom, the young emerge to begin the cycle again. A bee house like this, once occupied, can generate new bees indefinitely and is an invaluable resource for pollination. House your local Mason bees, and they will return the favor by making your garden fruitful.
