| I have been watching for a couple of days now, some nice looking Queen I suppose, flying close to the ground, looking for a hole to make a nest..... have you seen them too?
I would like to put some Clay pots upside down into the ground, bottom slightly above ground, someone has mentioned! Are there any other methods to attract them?? Konrad |

| i have never heard of that! interesting. one year, i had them nest inside the north wall of my shed. that was the year after i had loads of pollen plants for them: purple blooming and sunflowers. i believe they prefer north for the cool and shade. |

| Watch them fly a ground hugging serpentine pattern as they sniff out old mouse nests to set up housekeeping in. The fluff like dryer lint would be attractive to them if you put a wad of it in the pot. |
