I recently ran across an article on various wildlife "boxes" one can
purchase, including of course birdhouses, bat boxes, butterfly boxes and
something I had never seen before, Mason Bee boxes; looked like a birdhouse
with little 1/4 inch holes drilled in the front, like a bee apartment
building. Mason bees are solitary bees that naturally live in holes in
stone and wood, I think. They were called the "friendly" bees of the
garden. Does anyone knw more about these bees, where they live and how to
make one of these boxes?
