Happy Home for our friends the Mason Bees!

Step 4 Keep the rain out

nobody likes to get soaked in the rain, and Mason bees are no exception, make them a nice roof with a good overhang so that they can chill out, sit on the bee porch, go to their neighbors all without the fear of getting their wings wet. I was tempted to waterproof it but thought I'd avoid it this time around incase Thompson's water seal gives the bees teeny bee headaches. Try at your own risk, these bees don't sting so really, they'll likely leave without a month's notice, I don't want to annoy my tenants.

I used some long screws with a Robinson SOLELY so I can give kudos to Canadian P.L. Robertson for making the bit, high fives fellow Canuck!! Thanks for the bit!

The roof looks mucky because the air compressor was pooched (doh!) but thankfully bees aren't one for being picky, so it will go un-noticed by our guests.

So the rigid drills are great, but the battery lives SUCK, thankfully they are warrantied for life, so make sure you keep your receipts and warranty cards, you'll need them, Mine had very little juice left so I had to hand crank the screws for the last house in.
