Spring is coming and so are my bees!! I have a colony of Cutter Bees living in my back yard. So I bought them a house. What else would a good former-Realtor do?
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

Nursing Cover Up Specs
Each one is hand cut and sewn and each is unique. Although they are approximately the same size, sizes do vary slightly, with the smallest size being 20" x 30." The neck strap is adjustable. In the corner you'll find a piece of soft fabric (terrycloth, flannel, or jersey knit) that serves as a pocket and as a burp cloth.
Check out the fabric collection in my etsy shop - just follow the link. Once you're there, choose your item & check out. You'll need to create an account name if you haven't shopped etsy before.
If you're in Yakima, I'll deliver it free. Otherwise, postage is approx $4.
And let me know if you prefer a different fabric than the ones shown. If you check the sold items you'll see what I've done in the past.

Super cute little houses for all of your friendly neighborhood bugs - way to stay organized! :)
Love 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
Mason bees don't make honey. :(
But 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
