Did you know that mason bee cocoons are completely waterproof? We wash our bees to remove pests like mites and chalkbrood fungus. Check out our video of the cleaning process! test

Hi, I enjoyed the video. Thanks.
I have harvested my Mason Bees
and placed them in a refrigerator.
The temp. is 30 degrees. Do you think that is too low? Also, I just placed them in there and did not “slowly” lower the temp.
I’m wondering if this will harm them? What should the proper humidity be in the refrigerator?
Thanks for your help. 😊

Hi Ronda. Great question. Thank you for asking. 30 is to cold. We aim for 35-40 degrees with 50-70% humidity.
