Hi All,

Just small talk.

I asked a farmer customer / friend of mine about
my weird bees. I described their looks and how
they moved at right angles. And how they darted at
you.

He said they are called Mason Bees

I'm partial to leaving bundles of cut bamboo stakes or just
short bamboos stakes stuck here and there in the garden.

For ideas:

Hi Pat,

Oh now I get it. Bamboo, like those bee tubes.

Thank you!
