Mason Bees

Hi all,

It appears that I have Mason bees in the wall of my garden path (approx 3m from the house), obviously with the big decline in european bee populations I'm loathe to do much about them. Does anyone have experience with these bees, information on the lifecycle of the nest, etc?

Thanks in advance!

 

they do no harm, just nesting in holes that already exist, if you dont want them in the wall put up a mason bee house

Thanks for the information, I'll let them be. No pun intended!
