I noticed that we had a small colony of Mason bees on our property, so I made a nest for them on the fence.I try to water the garden with as much rain water as I can save, but sometimes need to use the public water.When I do use water from the hose, I first put it into buckets so the chlorine and other chemicals can have time to escape.*******After a few days of this routine; today, I noticed that there were dead bees with some live bees in the water struggling to get out.It just then dawned on me to simply put a small flat stick in the water, so the little tikes could get a better and safer perch for their water.*******PeterAVEvery word of God is pure:

Don't buy used! The risk of disease out weighs the savings of a used hive.
