That is so fascinating about your bees, Laura...and I didn't know the
cocoons we're impenetrable. You have learned so much about bees, and how
to care for them.
Gping with all cardboard tubes next year sounds like a good idea; your
poor hands .
Love,
Roberta

My fingertips are so raw from opening up all these reeds today to harvest
all my Mason bee cocoons. I have about 6 cardboard tubes to that I used
towards the end of their season when I ran out of reeds and my gosh, at
first, I hated those things because you cannot easily peel them open but
after a quick 2-minute soak they were a cinch to open and get my bees out.
Seriously thinking of switching to those next season. Now, I still have
about 8 bamboo tubes that another beekeeper gave me that I am scared to
death to try and crack open for fear of harming the bees inside so I might
just leave them alone...... The problem is, is yanking them out of the bee
house next year before the bees try and re-fill them, which is nearly
impossible to do.
I found some parasite destruction but not too much thankfully, and I also
found what appears to be around 10 leafcutter bee cocoons in with my
masons. They would have to be wild leafcutters or maybe even another
species that uses leaf material. I will be storing those in a separate jar
outside with the Leafcutters so when they hatch out, there won't be a
problem if they are a different species. Anyway, all the mason cocoons got
washed in a very mild bleach water and rinsed well....now they need to dry
before they go into the frig until spring. Their cocoons are water proof so
nothing penetrates, but it's necessary to kill any fungus spores and wash
off any dirt and mites that are on the outside.
Something really cool happened today, One of the cocoons vibrated in my
hand! Thats never happened before! 🙂 I love my bees so much!
