Thank you so much Ron for your video.. This is my first year putting out a house, and tubes for the mason bees. I'm hopeful they will like the flowers and environment I've created for them. Thank you again!
Sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any tips you can give me.
Vwet nice vidio Ron! I am a Master Gardener from Boise. One of my favorite things about our program is teaching kids about gardening and nature. As I saw in your video, they get so excited, and want to learn.
I saw a video from Taos master gardener class last night. Even talking about Ladybugs is really interesting apparently ladybugs all go hibernate in the winter in the same place. When you buy ladybugs at the nursery they usually harvested from these places. I learned that ladybugs have a waxy coating under their wing specifically to help them hibernate through the winter. So when they come out of hibernation they are motivated to fly a lot to get rid of the wax. Which is why when you buy ladybugs at a nursery they fly away. The bug lady, as she’s called, So I never buy ladybugs at the nursery for these reasons. One is you reduce the natural population into they’re not gonna hang around anyway. If you get a chance to watch the video I recommended
Any advise for cold climate considerations? I am a zone 3 Minnesota climate.... we have about a month in winter where subzero temperatures have a long bitter cold period. I want to have a positive experience and make sure i learn how to be a good provider to them. I absolutely loved this video.... I will always look twice at flies just to make sure it isnt a lovely mason bee
When the cold comes (late fall like end of October) put the nest into a slightly warmer and sheltered area like inside a shed. Take out in the spring when it hasn’t snowed for a while.
I bought some mason bee cocoons from the internet and implanted them in my mason bee house made of wooden pipes. After emerging out of their coccoons every single mason bee left their pipe homes. How do I get them to stay inside their homes that i have created for them?
There are good wasps like grass wasps and parasitic wasps that eat the larvae--that is why cleaning the cocoons would be the solution for you to have healthy bees.
Great video. But you didn't introduce yourself. Who are you guys? I'm organic. I have a You Tube channel and I work on my land to be sustainable. I grow Brazilian native honey bees. I've been making a Mason Bee Hotels lately. I enjoyed you videos. Hugs. Let's keep in touch.

This is delightful!
This is a FANTASTIC piece. I will be using it as a tool in my educational Solitary Bee Education toolbox. Thanks to you all.

Wow incredible video thanks!
Thank you for your work. I am officially inspired.
Very cool! As an oregon native, i never knew these are pollenating bee's. Thanks for another informative video! Save the 🐝bee's 🐝
IM LITERALLY RELATED TO HIM!! 😭
Wonderful!
Got some mason bees coming soon. I have about 35 fruit trees and countless other perennial flowers. I hope I gave them a good place to live and grow.
Makes me want to set up mason bee houses!
Insane that she lays females to the back and males to the front of her nest... ...trippy. Absolutely trippy.

Bro I cannot actually watch the video thinking about THAT IM ACTUALLY *RELATED* TO HIM! 😭
If we don’t set up boxes what will they use

I'm a Washingtonian but I love OPB. Does it disturb the females for the nest to be examined while she is in the process of filling the nest tubes?
I bought some mason bee cocoons from the internet and implanted them in my mason bee house made of wooden pipes. After emerging out of their coccoons every single mason bee left their pipe homes. How do I get them to stay inside their homes that i have created for them?
Can I place the eggs inside the paper tubes in may 2024 ?
I would do this but there are alot of wasp that would probably use the holes to.
Sometimes I find spiders in mine! 😭 or like you said, wasps

I have bamboo of all sizes. What is best length to get more female bees???
Ron mention the 5/16th channel worked best.
Bamboo isn’t the best material for bees, it can harbor mites.
I have always killed these as I thought they were flies. Now, I know not to kill them.
On the video “ we’re saving the wrong kind of bees” I learned honey bees don’t pollinate tomatoes.
Great video.
