Did you know Mason Bees are important #pollinators for our environment? Instead of letting them drill holes into your deck or siding, build them their own special bee hotel! Need more info? Reach out to our Environmental Education Agent at lacey.laudick@uky.edu #Bees #Garden

**Correction, Mason Bees do not create their own holes, those are carpenter bees, Mason Bees only use pre-existing holes which is why a bee hotel is so important to them! Apologies for any confusion.
