RE: Harvesting Mason Bee cocoons

I could just leave them alone and let them emerge naturally. But the Bees will have to crawl through Mite infested cells before emerging. Clinging on the Bees when they have Mites it effects them badly. So by me opening up the Bamboo tubes and removing them from the Mites I can make sure it's less of an issue.

Yes I would put them by their future homes when they emerge. The Bee boards I'm building should be suitable for this Spring. And cleaning them is much easier than the Bamboo homes I had to deal with. They are solitary Bees so they dont have colony hives. They all work independently.

Thanks alot for the comment and tokens.

Oh okay I'll look into the #talentclub tag.
