This video shows you how to check and examine your cocoons.
The boys emerge first, and the girls usually follow 1 to 2 weeks later once it gets warmer. Look for scent marks near the emergence hole and listen closely for any faint crackling sounds, which can indicate bees chewing to get out of their cocoons.
If your bees have not started nesting yet, give them time. After emerging, the girls must first be fertilized before they begin building nests. While exploring, they may find other small holes nearby and choose the cavity that feels best to them.
