Weather sucks again. Watch #bambooblebee groom in the sunlight! She recently closed that bamboo stick, hence seems to be done laying eggs into it. #invertebrates #masonbee

My linocut prints on cream coloured washi paper, drying on a tabletop. 6 are visible. Each shows a bunch of white blueberry flowers and leaves printed in pale green with hints of red on buds and a blue orchard mason bees on the lowest flower.
Time for more blue orchard mason bees on blueberry flowers!

New to #MasonBee harvesting? Open the filled nesting materials, gently remove the cocoons, rinse with water, dry, then store them in a cool, dry place for winter. A few minutes now means a stronger bee population in spring.

We see a sunny day photo showing a section of a light green wooden bee house, with many nesting holes drilled into bamboo and wood. A small mason bee is visible at the entrance of a hole on the upper left.
A new wooden house,
A tiny builder works hard,
A life so similar,
To all who seek a safe home,
For children yet to be born.

My best guess so far is #masonbee #Osmia.
I'm impressed with how carefully it crafted the chambers, they appear to either have different purposes or to be in different stages.
I hope they are mason bees, they're super pollinators. I've only seen one honey bee and two mason bees this year. 🙁

Bee Happy 🐝😍: The mason bee activities are winding down for the season, and I'm so happy to see at least 21 reeds filled. Better luck this year! 🤞🍀 Grateful for these hardworking pollinators—can't wait to harvest their cocoons this fall #MasonBee ♥️🐝#PollinatorConservation

Blue Orchard Mason Bee in strawberry blossom 🐝 🍓
Unlike the Honeybee and other common garden bees, Mason Bees are non-social and do not create a hive.

Elaborate mason bee hive created by my neighbour. It is facing a sunny spot, made of wood with a triangle roof overhanging cedar wood with holes drilled to fit cardboard tubes where mason bees can grow through their stages. Neighbour stores the brood colony carefully over the wonder to ensure a healthy crop of larvae. 🐛
Oh my goshyyy my neighbour maintains a #masonbee home in my backyard and he’s ecstatic with the results so far. Lots of tubes apparently.
Hope to learn more if there is a #beesky?

I haven't seen a #masonbee in 3 days. So, I bagged up most of the nesting material for the season. Then, of course, 2 of the girls came by. Sorry ladies, you'll have to drop off those last boy eggs in the woods.

I believe this cutie is a mason bee. I saw a whole grouping of them on my Penstemons over the weekend. So sweet. 🥹💙 #penstemon #penstemondigitalis #masonbee

My mason bee colony busy as ever. These girls pollinate 1000x more than honeybees do. My orchard trees have already started setting fruit because of such efficient pollination. #masonbee #orchardist #insects #gardening #orchard #bees #yeg #youryeg #edmonton #alberta #canada

Met this #MasonBee? Busy inspecting holes on an old fence post. Absolutely LOVE the wee reverse in - I looked closer and she was just looking out at me - probably chose this for her eggs. North Lanarkshire 🏴🙏🏻🥰 #bee #insect #fencepost #nature #RedMasonBee

🐝 Did you know mason bees are super pollinators? They can pollinate up to 95% of the flowers they visit—way more efficient than honey bees! Plant native flowers 🌸 & provide mud for their nests to help these gentle, mighty helpers thrive #MasonBee #NativeBees #BeeLovers #BeeKind

Mason Bee on Hand with Dandelion
Mason be on Nicole’s arm hanging out in the sun. Dandelion is to the left of the mason bed
Mason bee soaking up the sun and some pollen while hanging out on Nicole’s arm
Pollen left over on a shirt sleeve of Nicole. The mason bee has finally flown off dry fed and hopefully happy.
Hung out with one of the little male mason bees this morning who was struggling. He was wet and clutching onto the tubes. Offered him my hand and he came out and hung out in the sun before attempting a failed attempt to fly. Stayed on my arm, had some pollen, then gone 🥰 #masonbee #bees #nativebee

Mason Bees are one of our most important pollinators, particularly for fruit trees like apples that are in blossom in early April.
I've had several simple bee 'hotels' on my shed for a few years.
My simple bee hotel design uses a 15cm length of an old fence […]

More bee stuff… she’s successfully gathering pollen! Look at all that yellow! The process of preparing her nest and laying eggs must be exhausting. She’s definitely hard at work. 🐝 💛 🖤

I can’t get over the fact that bees groom themselves like cats. I swear the worst thing film ever did for the world was make us afraid of bees. I’ve picked up over 100 and have never been stung.

What a delight to see the Mason Bees making use of our little hotels. I put these up 2 years ago, but only one seemed to be used. Guess both are being used now. Yay! ❤️ 🐝
