We don't have enough trees out here on the prairie to sustain mason bees I don't believe. I'm surely working on it though. I had little wild bees coming in the kitchen today. I feel so bad because with the hard freezing that we've had I have nothing blooming in which to feed them with. I may have lost more wild flowers that were just germinating in the garden too.Pammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093707722407312896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5844820884663362414.post-865056875399043122011-02-14T06:02:47.513-08:002011-02-14T06:02:47.513-08:00Mason bees are a breeze, and you only need to prov...Mason bees are a breeze, and you only need to provide the houses for them- they do the rest!<br /> I loved our honeybees, but they can get aggressive when feeding on certain plants- buckwheat being one. We have a neighbor that raises a lot of buckwheat and I kept getting stung when I was out mowing or trimming- to the point of needing an epi-pen. So now I just work with all my bee keeping friends indoors and swap for my honey and wax!Rhondahttp://www.growingherbsforbeginners.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5844820884663362414.post-16207109680491647762011-02-13T16:31:53.794-08:002011-02-13T16:31:53.794-08:00Hi Rhonda, Yes we surely had a whole lot of fun.

I will declining on raising bees and sticking with the garden natives to feed them. We have so many problems with African Bees here and I don't want any problems with my Grandbabies playing outside. Are the mason bees easier to keep? xxooxxPammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093707722407312896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5844820884663362414.post-70700151500420160272011-02-12T18:43:25.159-08:002011-02-12T18:43:25.159-08:00Looks like you girls had a blast!

Glad you got out of the cabin & had some fun.<br /><br />Take good care,<br /><br />KarenKaybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766292406622889248noreply@blogger.com
