The Mason Bee Mud Box keeps clayey mud moist in yards with very sandy soil and in arid locations like deserts and rooftop and balcony gardens.
If your mud is too dry for even one day, mason bees will leave your yard and nest elsewhere. The mud box uses capillary action to keep your clayey mud moist.
Instructions:
Slowly add ½ cup of water to the bag of dry Mason Bee Mud Mix and knead the bag.
Fill the bottom of the mud box container with water, place the black capillary cloth into the water, use the laminated instruction sheet as a bridge or tray, and put the black cloth on top of the laminated instruction sheet.
Squeeze the mason bee mud mix onto the black cloth.
Check the water level periodically and add additional water as necessary.
Leave the container lid open and place the Mason Bee Mud Box within 10-20ft of the mason bee house. Close the lid during rain or if debris covers the mud mix. Mason bees will crawl through the openings in the lid of the mud box to access the mud.
