Go here for your bee ideas.....you don't have to necessarily buy from them, but
it will show you what a proper bee house should look like. It's unreal how many
cheap, crappy bee houses are on sale online and in stores that are totally
inappropriate for bees. We made our own, but I bought bee blocks and all the
tubes etc. to use in it. If your aim is wild bees, you will want to buy a
variety of tube sizes since different species are picky about the size holes
they will use. https://crownbees.com/bee-house-nesting-material-combo/

Oh ok, thanks, i know it’s too late now. I pondered it but just didn’t do it. I
know I can buy the materials, maybe I will since we do have so many wild bees
here. Which station did you recommend for wild bees?
Thanks

Yes, honey bees do live longer.....but most species only live 30-60 days.
Bee keeping doesn't have to be as labor intensive as I have made it. I choose
to raise my own bees here, and I choose to harvest the cocoons to help ensure
that the maximum number of babies survive. Some folks just buy the materials
and see if native wild bees will come along and nest, others buy bees and start
their colonies that way, some "rent" bees where the company will send you the
bee house, and everything you need, along with the bees, and then provide you
with a postage paid box to send it all back at the end of the season.....and
some folks raise bees and leave the bee house intact as is outside all winter
long, allowing the bees to basically take care of themselves. There is little
to no work involved in some of those scenarios.

Laura, Oh, I thought the bees had longer life spans,but obviously I don’t know
about Mason bees, for the honey bees I read the queen can live for years and
the drones almost two months, workers can live up to 4 to6 months, but that’s
the honey bee, that isn’t very long.
I am glad the little one is with you, I was gonna do this but I just don’t
have the energy to do it. Maybe next year.
Love, Janet

Janet, the average life span of a bee is only 4-8 weeks, depending on the
species. At best, he'd make it till the end of December, and that's providing
nothing is wrong with him.

Oh no.......one of my Masons hatched! I found him crawling out of the pile of
bee stuff I was tossing out after I cleaned out the reeds and processed all the
cocoons. I gave him some sugar water and ground up bee pollen for tonight and
he is drinking a lot right now. Poor thing, he wouldn't survive if I put him
outside. [🙁] I will have to scrounge for whatever flowers I can source to
keep him alive.... I kept a bee my first year, she was born without wings so I
made her a habitat to live in. I can do it again for this little one....
