Sometimes, around here, we'll get some odd warmish days between December and March. Those days can encourage the cocoons to emerge before there is food (flowers) available to feed the bees. It also provides a secure place from predators and parasites -assuming we cleaned them well. Last year, we left them out in the house. Granted the original house we had for them wasn't as weather secure, we also had evidence of predators. We got 3 cocoons from 24 original hatches, and only one of those hatched. We got the rest from our friendly neighborhood "bee lady". So, this year we are trying out the refrigerator.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064130729270914968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364331033733282203.post-17445490891633988442020-10-27T10:50:13.796-07:002020-10-27T10:50:13.796-07:00Wow.
