I do have lavenderBees love Heather and lavender. Plant some of that around. We have lavender plants and they get full of bees.
LolAbout 25 years ago, when we lived in Western Washington, I was discussing blueberry polination with a county commissioner who was very big blueberry farmer. Honeybees are not the best for blueberry pollination because of the flower shape and depth. He suggested mason bees. I told him I could not use those because I am Catholic. The commissioner next to him suggested Knights of Columbus bees. The first commissioner, who is a Mason, just looked confused.
Is there anyway to encourage where mud daubers... daub?Yeah, sorry I changed my post. I have lots of mud daubers around my house and I was confusing them with what you have here. I like that house and I'm going to get one.
I don't know, we just seem to have them around. The insects themselves are a bit intimidating with the shiny blue color but you're right they aren't aggressive.Is there anyway to encourage where mud daubers... daub?
They're not aggressive and I don't mind having them around, I just hate breaking a nest on the front porch (kids are scared) or one of the cars.
