RE: Leafcutter Bee cocoons found in my bee boards

in ecoTrain3 years ago

very interesting, I found some nests on my back porch that looked like the mason bee homes. They were made of mud and in a line like yours, but not in wood, they were in a corner.

Sort:  

Oh cool, those are probably mud dauber nests.. Feel free to take a picture and leave it in the comments here and I can possibly ID it for you.

I did not know what they were so I knocked them down, but I do know what a mud dauber nest looks like and this was different, they were exactly like the picture of yours that says mason bee nests, now I feel bad for destroying them. If they build more, I will snap a pic and send it to you.

that is what they look like. maybe this is it?

What I had on my porch looked like little igloos or huts, one behind the other in a row, they were rounded on the top and each maybe 1/2 inch long

hmmm not sure then.. next time you see some take a picture for me.
