  • A simple nesting box design for the native bees in your neighborhood. Some left over 1x8, 1x4, an old sign pulled out of the dump and a couple of exterior grade screws make up this humble but effective addition to the homestead. Make sure your box is facing southeast and hung before the weather hits a solid 55 degrees. You'll be glad you did- these little bees pack quite a punch when it comes to pollination. Always research and be sure to look for future videos as we track how this little nest performs. As always ENJOY!

    I found the music in the background so relaxing why just watching you work. Thanks for the great ideas.

    Good design, fairly simple to build. I've been looking for a good design to try and get some mason bees in my garden. I'll give this one a try. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

    I have been wanting to expand my mason nesting tunnel collection by building my own. Your video shows a great design which is very doable for most people. Thank you.

    Just built our first two mason bee houses following your design! It looks amazing, and the clamped boards with a drill bit was genius as we couldn't locate a round nosed router. Just one question - how in the world did you manage to drill in so straight?? In the end, I had to use my drill press to start each hole so they would continue straight! Finally, loved how you decorated your inserts. Indeed, all good things come from above! Thanks for the great vid!

      Thanks! 😂 the drill press is a great idea. I don’t have one myself. Perhaps the straight shot is from my years of working construction? Hoping you have great success!

    OK, I really love that background music. I can't find it with Soundhound or Shazam. Who is the artist? Thanks, Bob

    • @greeneacreshomestead
      @greeneacreshomestead  Před rokem

      It’s me, I’m the artist 😂 so glad you like it. Check out my other channel “nothing but originals” the song is on there it’s called -Rolling with the Ocean.

    • @robertguenther7774
      @robertguenther7774 Před rokem

      That's funny! I actually downloaded Shazam to give that a try (Soundhound couldn't identify it either). I've listened to it a dozen times just to keep the background music playing, it's so calming. I just went to Home Depot to get my lumber to follow your design. Now I need to find an old license plate for a roof :)

    Do you get any honey from the boxes or is it a sleeping spot for them?

    • @greeneacreshomestead
      @greeneacreshomestead  Před 2 lety

      No honey, this is just a nesting place for the females to produce more offspring. More babies means more pollinators!
