Many well-intentioned gardeners install bee hotels made from bamboo or drilled logs to help mason bees. Unfortunately, these nesting materials can actually harm mason bees over time.

In this video, we explain why bamboo tubes and drilled logs can become dangerous nesting sites and how pests, parasites, and pathogens can build up inside them.

Mason bees are incredible pollinators capable of pollinating up to 95% of the blooms they visit, but they depend on clean nesting environments to stay healthy.
