Choosing a Mason Bee House
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- There are many different factors to consider when purchasing a mason bee house: The diameter and depth of the nesting holes determine size and sex of the bees; soft woods will warp and crack easily, allowing moisture and parasites inside; plastic or PVC houses will invite molds and fungus. So take a look at this video to become an informed consumer!
Thank you for such a detailed and informative video about the Mason Bees. The features of your bee houses make perfect sense to me :) Thanks again and thumbs UP of course!
Nice! Thank you for sharing!
I use 11" paper/cardboard tubes (increases the number of females)!
11" helps me to fit 12" parchment paper as well as a liner!
Great video Denise. Native Bees NC. Get off to a great start with Denise. Get on her site watch the videos and read read read. Get educated. She is a Pro. Thanks for all your help.Looking forward to working with you, to save our bees, No bees NO food.
Get it.Blessings again Denise. Shalom....
Thank you for the defective information. I'm just starting as the bees came into my open workshop. I tried to help them, now I know I was helping the males mostly. Thanks again.
Defective?
How sad that you're website was hacked. Is there no way now to buy your Bee boxes and sundries?
Shocking that the “cute” commercial bee houses for sale are not actually good for the bees!
Are you still selling the tubes and liners anywhere, or can you point me to where I can get them? I saw your website is no longer active.
Your website is very complicated. Your video should have a link to the specific product that is the focal point of your video or that is highlighted in video.
Exactly what I was thinking. Where do we get those plastic straws for liners ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I can't find these bee homes to buy. Now I want this perfect mason bee house! ;(
The best house - safe house!
Safe = safe from predators, weather, parasites...!
Thanks for the information.
I’d love to buy a bee house
Where can I buy these houses?
Can a person still purchase these items? Is there a website?? No information is listed in the description. 😥 Please advise.

Mortgage Loan.???
I want to raise Mason Bees, not finance a state of them.
@@davesmith9844 That site does not give info on bees!
where can I buy on of your mason bee house
Hey, I would like to know how much it would be to buy 2 mason bee houses with the liners and straws.
So would I. Do you need my email address?
where can I purchase a few houses.
You're going to get a lot of male masons. The tubes should be at least six inches long, eleven is ideal.
What is the inner tube made of?
wow nice houses!
Honestly. Overbuilt “mansions” really. I’m sure thats why the owner no longer responds & their website is not active. At the end of the day, it’s a house for solitary bees. Nothing more or less.
How can I reach you to make a purchase?
Is it absolutely necessary to line the holes with paper or other material? Will the bees be happy with just the wood surface if I make a house from a solid wood 4x4?
See the answer to Stephen. Solid wood blocks mean you cannot clean the cocoons. Therefore when they emerge in spring they must dig out through a maze of possible pests, some of which will work to destroy the bee and also negatively contaminate the new female which will use that space.
The video also states 4x4 is not deep enough. 6" at least in depth.
Could you use Cedar wood for a nesting box material?? I know it is toxic to bugs, Not sure about nesting Bees.
Yes you can use cedar. All good honey bee hives are made in cedar.
I can't seem to find your website??
I wanted to purchase your bee houses and supplies are you still in business??
Yes I ‘m from Canada, Ontario,,,,, do you ship to Canada
Where is this website? I'd be interesting in building some houses, but would like to purchase the straws.
Are you still making these bee houses, and where can we find them?
Wow, great answer
Do you still sell these? I can’t find a link.
How about using bamboo, I saw here on utube you can do that, and if so can I roll up card board and put it in the hole for like straw?
I’d like to buy one
:)
Where can I buy nesting straws like that>

Hi how long a Mason bee live
Have to take issue with yo🎉ur perspective that Mahagony is sustainable ... That it is OK to transport slow growing hardwood from Africa is a flawed argument.
