Ric and I sit and toss around the ideal of having just one hive. It's just in the thinking stage right now. There are several people locally that could help us. I know it won't happen this year but if we continue to have a slow down on bees also it'll be an idea we take more seriously but first I want to check out this little bee house with cotten thing you have going on!!

The mason bees are gentler and are easier to take care of. They are not as social and massive as the honey bees. they don't produce honey so they don't attract other unwanted honey lovers. But I'd prefer to have the honey but my kids don't like a lot of bees. It doesn't hurt to have both types in your yard.
I'm building up a tutorial on how to build these step by step. It is also a science fair project of my youngest kid at the same time,
