Rescuing Mason Bees

 Unfortunately a Mason bee had made its nest in our sun parasol. When the parasol was down, it made lots of nice little folds which the bee took for holes. Of course when it was opened the whole nest was broken open.
Lucky I noticed it and managed to grab them before any hungry wasps discovered them. The tiny eggs laid on the Pullen balls were mostly intacted. So with any luck they should still hatch and feed on the Pullen and grow. I have put them in a box in the kitchen window sil and we shall see what happens.
