I got a delivery date for my mason bee cocoons - 24th-26th March!
I signed up to be a "bee guardian" last year, which meant I got a kit with a release box and nesting equipment (which I need to put up soon!), with the cocoons to follow. Red mason bees are solitary and don't sting, so they're perfect for a small garden. I've seen them in the wild around here, so I'm hoping they'll be happy feasting on my broad bean and squash flowers!

How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!
