Cocoons hatching!!!

Two new Mason Bees emerge!

I had some cocoons that had not hatched out from my order. I took them out and left them in the sun. Within 20 minutes of sunning them,  I noted they were moving and two of the female eggs started to emerge. It took about 10 minutes and we had 2 more females in the yard. What a site!


First there was one........

Then two........


Almost there........

She is out and ready to eat!
