IRON HOUSE MASON BEE PROJECT




So Many Creative Bee Homes For Our Mason Bees


We should start seeing our Mason Bee Project at Iron House come to fruition soon. Our lovely little native bees, the Mason Bee, play a very important role in the balance of nature in Oregon. We love these little babies, so nondescript that they may go unnoticed by many people, or mistaken for something other than a bee. 

Iron House,along with our residents built an assortment of Mason Bee Houses, now we wait... to see if they liked their new homes enough to take up residence. The key is to attach them to a place at least three feet from the ground , and face the openings toward the east.
I believe we will find that these little bee beauties love us as much as we love them....
 For the love of bees....Holly
