How to Build a Mason Bee House, Part 1

Choosing a Mason Bee House

Carpenter bees would rather move into an existing nest than build a new one. If they have access to old nests, they will ignore your carpenter bee trap. To direct new bees toward your trap, you’ll need to seal old nesting sites and offer a strong incentive not to return. Breaking the nesting cycle increases the likelihood of luring carpenter bees directly into your trap. #carpenterbee #carpenterbees
