So I’m mulling over a design to house the mason bee blocks next spring (another winter project) and would appreciate a few more eyes on it. It isn’t elaborate or expensive by any measure, but I may be missing something which may result in missing bees. I plan to use a 5 gal bucket to set the blocks in so that I can protect them from known predators. I’ve read that some birds will hang around their mud sources to pick them off so I also put the mud inside the bucket also protected by chicken wire. Whatcha think?
