New Location for Mason Bee House
When I put together the bee house last week, I wasn’t 100% sure that I was doing everything correct. In particular, I wasn’t sure about the placement of the house. I knew that the homes are best kept out of the rain but other than that I didn’t like my placement. I managed to get in contact with Hartley via the Environmental Youth Alliance (EYA) and he graceiously offered me some advice. He suggested that the most important aspect of placement was that the house face east or southeast, such that it receives warming sun in the morning. Second most important was shelter from rain.
I thought about this but wasn’t sure I could really mount my particular house design on the wall of the garage facing east. Then I had the idea to use the bike tubes to secure it to the east fence in our backyard. So I drilled a couple of holes in the fence, perched the house on the top rail, and tied it all down to the fence. I think it will work pretty well. Here is a photo of the mount:
And in this photo you can sort of see the house on top of the fence against the garage. It’s facing east and also faces the apple trees across from it:
