It was a purchase from a man in Seattle who sells his stuff on Etsy. The AR is his initials - I wish that it could have been customized with mine or just said bee or something. But I love the bee logo and the house is fabulous!
Cutter bees are the same as Mason bees. They won't hurt anyone - they just like to pollinate.
I'm putting the box out this week. I know its early but better early than late!
While we're talking houses - I also bought a butterfly house from the same shop.
I hope I can get a few to move in! We'll just have to wait & see. Come see more hints & tips at Rocks in my Dryer
Super cute little houses for all of your friendly neighborhood bugs - way to stay organized! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, adorable, informative and a Yakimite! Can't wait to read more.
Does your house get full of honey? Just wondered how it worked. Might be a great idea for us to keep our garden going to support some bees without becoming beekeepers! Jami
ReplyDeleteMason bees don't make honey. :(
ReplyDeleteBut they're great pollinators!! They're used around here to pollinate the fruit trees & the mint. At my house they just have some flowers, 2 apple trees and several berry bushes.
There's a huge concern on the disappearance of bees - so I like to help even if its just a tiny bit!
yes, I knew about the bee concerns but I didn't know that some didn't make honey! Wow. Thanks for the info. Jami
