Terra, I planted them just today, they are not completely "in flowers" yet. If the weather like today continues, you will see the photos very soon - in a week :)

These are NOT mason bees!! but bees that burrow into masonary, quite a different specie, I promise you. I keep mason bees, sweet little bees that pollinate all our flowers.

Thank you Pimpernel, this is very useful information, although I tried almost everything. I aso found that insecticides do not work, nor frosts, nor fire. Awful.
