@Broadfork@mastodon.green the women of rent mason bees (USA?), what she does is as soon as the old bees are done, and the coccons are ready (late summer, autumn?) she cleans the hotel racks and the coccons.

@MiguelGuerreiro@ecoevo.social I’m not sure how much relevance US or UK mason bee knowledge is to each other. I just use UK sources to be sure it’s relevant for what I do I’ve seen US YouTubers using paper fillers and removing cocoons for storing. It’s interesting but that’s not something I want to do. There’s good information in the lifecycle of UK mason bees in this link. http://lambleys.co.uk/mason-bees-uk/ I’m interested to see if the holes the bees don’t use this year will be used by them next year & vice versa.
