Mason Bee Nest and Replacement Liners Mason Bee Nest and Replacement Liners
Where to site the nester
Preferably site the nester against a south or south east facing wall in a sunny position. The site should be within easy reach of fruit or other flowering plants which can provide a source of pollen. Never site them on a north facing wall and try to avoid facing them into the prevailing wind.

They should be sited no more than 1.8 metres above the ground. Mason bees will also need access to an area of cultivated soil, which they use to seal the nests. The nesters will also provide a home for leaf-cutting bees which use the leaves of the rose family to seal their nests. While these leaves may be slightly disfigured by the leaf cutting activity, this is a small price to pay for having these useful pollinators in the garden.
