    Mason Bees at work

    No. They are just pollinators. They are non aggressive because they are solitary bees and aren't trying to protect a hive.

    Mason Bees at work

    An interesting fact about Mason bees is that their body like many other native bees is hairy. The hairs collect and hold onto more pollen that is then transfered to other plants. Isn't nature amazing?

    Mason Bees at work

    They are non aggressive and great pollinators for my flowers. They are 2-3 times better pollinators than honey bees The tubes could possibly be reused if I didn't harvest the cocoons, but cutting open the tubes to harvest the cocoons destroys them. The replacement tubes aren't too expensive so...

    Mason Bees at work

    I store them until fall as they make cocoons. Then I open up the tubes and harvest the cocoons. I store them in the frig in a container over the winter. In the spring I put the cocoons outside in a container so they can hatch.

    Domino's thoughts.....

    So growing up I used to eat a lot of Dominos pizza. They tasted good back then. They even had the 30 minute delivery guarantee and I scored free pizza a few times.

    Who here has a car wash membership?

    I have to admit I have gotten lazy and less concerned about how my vehicle looks. I probably went 6-8 months without washing or waxing it I decided to try a new auto wash in town. For $20.00 you get the ultimate wash. When I paid for it they gave me a free month of unlimited ultimate washes...

    Retirement investing...

    Depends on your perspective. At least 75% of Americans will not retire with 500,000. Many will have next to nothing. So any "free" income from investments is a blessing. You won't live a great retirement but you can get by.
