As the warmth of spring gradually replaces winter's chill, a new chapter unfolds in the world of pests. Wasps, having spent the colder months in hibernation, are beginning to stir, signalling the onset of increased activity. With the changing season, the prospect of wasps building nests becomes more imminent.
As homeowners, being vigilant during this transition is crucial. While the winter months provide a respite from the buzz and activity of wasps, spring brings a renewed energy to these insects. Soon, they'll actively seek out nesting sites and establish their colonies.
To prepare for the upcoming season, we encourage you to explore our website for valuable insights. Arm yourself with knowledge on recognizing early signs of wasp activity, understanding their behaviour, and, most importantly, effective strategies for addressing potential nest-related concerns. Let's work together to ensure a smooth and wasp-aware spring season!

Understanding the World of Bees in April and May
Attention bees.In April and May, notable events unfold in nature. Specifically, during this period, attention should be directed towards bees. Over the next few weeks, a common mistake may occur as many individuals misidentify wasps, largely due to the presence of mason bees. These small creatures have a brief lifespan, lasting only 6 to 8 weeks in the spring. After mating and laying eggs for the next generation, they perish.
Despite their wasp-like appearance, close examination reveals that these harmless beings have a fluffy texture. Mason bees stand out as exceptional pollinators, employing a different pollen collection method compared to honey bees. Instead of storing pollen on their legs, they allow it to stick all over them. This unique approach results in more effective pollination, with one mason bee contributing as much as 100 honey bees.

Mason bees exhibit a preference for nesting in small openings in brickwork, wood, and around windows. They are particularly drawn to plastic weep vents commonly found in modern homes' brickwork.
Usually, the numbers of bees present are quite low, less than 50.

Mining bees are similar but burrow into the ground, they create a small hole, just slightly larger than a wormhole, leaving what looks like a mini volcano on the top.
It is crucial to note that both mason and mining bees are harmless and beneficial. Encouraging their breeding is actively promoted. If you wish to contribute to the well-being of mason bees, information on creating tunnels for them can be found here: Making tunnels for mason bees

These bees come in various species and sizes, including the Grey Mining Bee.
