Mason Bees are a non-aggressive, native bee species found throughout most of the lower 48 states. However, Mason bees are not found in the very hot and dry regions of the southwestern states. They should find the bee house without a problem in your part of California.

It should be. You'll need a two or three Button remote though and program it with your gate and your garage opener.

I don't think it matters. It does not work. Bees want to make their own holes it seems

this is a tropical plant and is very particular about its environment, as i live in New York i will not be putting it out side, that said i am sure if a bee where to go inside, it would would run the risk of getting stuck.

Dear Gregory,Thank you for writing. Mason bees nest in existing holes, and they don't damage wood the way carpenter bees do. Our Mason Bee House is designed specifically to attract Mason Bees, so we would not recommend it for your purposes.We appreciate your interest, nonetheless!Thanks for making Gardener's Supply your source for gardening products and information. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else.Sincerely, DarcyCustomer Service

Have not used it outdoors. No bees inside my house yet. Hope it does not call them inside.

Sorry Madeline, I don't know why they would escape. I just checked mine and it has four bees in it now - all dead.

Pretty much yes. There are leaf cutter bees that are mid summer. I suggest you also take a look at YouTube.

The company will not answer that question although I occasionally get a jar with Made in Michigan on it, but labeling does not always mean what we think it means. It could just be processed and packaged in Michigan which would make it a Michigan product.I believe they buy from several suppliers with different flowers and standards which makes their honey fairly hit or miss.

I doubt it. It fits the bee just barely, like a glove.... And you have to take off the wheels.

I don't think they will place it in it's final location. Mine was off loaded with a pallet dolly, so the delivery guy was nice enough to cart it up the driveway and drop it in my garage. I guess it will depend on the delivery service and where you are going to place it, if it is paved and level the entire way, they may help you out. I did the final move from the garage to the paito by placing the spa on two furniture dollies and rolled them across two sheets of plywood, hop-scotching the plywood. It worked well.

Not at all. Bumble Bees (and honey bees for that matter) have no interest in exploring the holes in our traps. Bumble Bees nest in the ground.Tony, Chrisman Mill Farms, 859-553-9070

This house is for the orchard mason bee, which are small. The female bees use these houses to lay their eggs. This type of bee is not so "hive-minded" like honey bees. But! Mason bees are work horses at pollinating-better than honey bees. more pollination more product. :) Google "Mason bees" there is quite a bit information there-from buying bees, managing bees, wintering over bee cocoons, mud, preditors, parasites and etc. I bought this house for my dad's vegetable garden; this will be his first year with the bees. He is very excited. Good luck to you and happy gardening with your new little friends! ;) This house is for the orchard mason bee, which are small. The female bees use these houses to lay their eggs.

Yes, we're certified to ship to CA, except Santa Barbara County - their inspection program takes too long and the plants can't stay in the boxes that long

Yes, but we will need a California Applicators License before we can send it. Thank you, Keystone Pest Solutions
