Shhh, It's A Secret!!!!

Years ago, one of my neighbors had several bee hives in his back yard for honey. My flowers have never looked so good as when I lived in that house. I have wanted a bee hive ever since I’ve lived here but one neighbor claims to be allergic even though she’s never been stung. I had a large sworm of bee’s one year in one of my trees. The neighbor sent her husband over to spray my tree when I wasn’t home. I’ve really only considered Honey Bees before. However, last year I learned about the wonderful little Mason Bees. I bought the house but I was too late in the year to order any bees. I tried to capture some anyway with just the house, although, all I got were flies & moths. Well, I remembered this year and My bee’s came! I’ve cleaned out the house and placed the paper straws in. I didn’t have the straws last year either. Since the bees are still in their tubes, I took out one layer of holes and placed the bees on top of all the other holes with newspaper and tape holding them in place. All I need to do now is get them a bucket of mud. I’m figuring that I have too sandy of a soil for them. Next year, I’m planning on another house for the front yard. I’m just not sure where my neighbor won’t see it.
