Its actually really easy to provide mason bees a home. They sell homes and the cardboard tubes at Down To Earth - you just have to put it on east wall and clean it out by replacing the old tubes every year. Mangochild - Keep buying locally & sustainably raised honey! I can't believe how irresponsible some commercial honey farms are.

I am allergic to bees, but I do love to support my local bee keepers by buying lots of delicious honey - especially with the baking obsession I've had of late.... Hearing how much trouble bees are in saddens me. I wish more people were conscious of their role and how to care for them, as you've been doing :-) It seems like bees are the “thing” this year - I’ve been reading about more and more people taking up bee keeping.
