Wood Bees! I love those houses. So many don’t understand that, even though they can destroy wood, they are pollinators.

  These are Mason bees, they live in little tunnels, often times creating the tunnels from mud. So sometimes they are called Mud Dobbers 🙂

    Oh! Yes! Ok! I know them, too. I just saw the houses and thought “Wood Bees.” Good pollinators, Wood Bees but, destructive to wood.
