"For to the bee a flower is the fountain of life,
and to the flower a bee is a messenger of love
and to both, bee and flower,
the giving and the receiving is a need and an ecstasy." by Kahlil Gibran
Our neighbour, Tony has a keen interest in the mason bee. His enthusiasm is contagious. This week he generously provided us with our own mason bee nesting box and adult pupae. He advised Barry to place it in a south or east-facing location (they love the heat of the sun - like me) with some protection from the less-than-desirable elements. We decided to tuck it under the overhang on the shed at the south end of our property. Then, like the good 'parents' we are, we went online to learn more. I showed Barry some of the instruction videos on Youtube and I haven't seen him since. I think he's gone to try his hand at making another nesting box (or two).
