Will really work for food. So I provided free housing as well. I've seen very few bees in our yard and must find substitute pollinators. Although there are syrphid flies that pollinate the plums, I don't see them on my pears and apples. Must have some bees, but the bees are dying left and right due to colony collapse disorder. A friend gave me some mason (or carpenter) bees. Must have plan B pollinators. And they will work just for food. No SSS and medical benefits needed.

The house made from scrap wood, attached to the west fence, facing east. It gets sun in the morning and shaded by the fence in the afternoon.
