Re: new pics

I got mine locally as we have a "bee" store here in Sacramento. But I think most of their supplies come from Knox Cellars. The condo that I got is actually their Nester Shelter, plus one extension. I've always used their Nester 74 cans of tubes and these fit in the Nester Shelter too. When I started out with the mason bees a couple of years ago I got just 5 tubes of bees, I bought another set of tubes of a different species of solitary bees a couple of years ago, so that I'd have a variety. Now I have lots of bees (hence the reason I decided to get a bigger system for them- so now I get have even more: ) 

Here's the link-

Oh- and it seems fine to have them in your neck of the woods. Here's some info-

Beautiful, Theresa!  Gives me something to look forward to.  I was also
drawn immediately to the bee condo pics.  Do you have a website link for
the
company that makes them?  Do you think this is something one could do in
Zone 5? or are we too cold?

I finally got around to taking some pictures in my garden.  Missed some

of

the earlier spring blooms, but still lots to see and very pretty this

year.

It was a good year for bulbs, and my citrus are going to have tons of
blooms this year.
The pics are currently uploading onto flicker now-
