Weedwhacker said:I was really happy today to see some leaf cutter bees going in and out of the tubes of the bee house I set up earlier (and several appear to have been capped by the leaf cutters). Previously I watched what I'm pretty sure is a "blue mud wasp" also using the house - 4 or 5 tubes have been capped with mud. I don't mind encouraging the solitary wasps, but I'm not really sure at this point what I should do with this mixed population. 
(I'm inclined to just let nature take her course.)
Sandy--What type of house(s) and tubes do you have? I've made a few mistakes over the years, and we're still learning about native bee houses. Here's some really helpful links:

I sometimes bought supplies here, but a few years back they had some of their care wrong and I goofed up too as I said we're all still learning
