| First, I'm sad to report that two hives of bees did not make it through this winter. My bee supplier reported that it was a tough winter for bees, so I'm in good company. Ordered 2 packages of bees and a helmet and veil for my husband, who is really into this! He was very upset that the creatures died; I was pretty philosophical.
Now I have a question about mason bees. By the time I checked for supplies on line, the suppliers I found were out of stock for the season. If I put up a house, are there 'wild' ones tht might find it? Thanks,

| Very well could. Especially if you have plants they like blooming nearby and supply fresh mud for them. |

| Mine are active right now. I say go for it! Put up the house and they will find it eventually. Good luck! |
