My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Mason Bee Help Needed!

14 years ago

Hi guys. I just ordered and received my hornfaced mason bees, but the house I ordered for them, which also arrived, was wrong. So I'm sending it back and have ordered another to arrive in 3-4 business day. However, it's Good Friday tomorrow and I just opened my two little boxes of cocoons to check on them and find I have absolutely squeeworthy little bees already hatched!

I don't have a house for them and it's chilly outside right now. Will they be okay in the fridge? Do I put them out in the greenhouse with plants and flowers, but no place to nest? I don't want them to die on me. :(
