Did you make it out to the
Strathcona and Cottonwood Community Garden Open House and Plant Sale last Saturday? EYA was there, bamboo mason bee homes, bee poster, information sheets, and all. Both Rhianna and Samantha provided me with an overview of the mason bee houses, including size specifications for the house's holes and at what height to attach the house to a tree (about 6 feet off the ground, if I'm remembering correctly).
A photo overview (click on images to enlarge):
More information about EYA's inspiring "Pollinator's Paradise" project can be found at the masonbeevancouver website.
And earlier this year, the Westender published a story about this project: If the bees disappear, we’ll all be stung.
