Hi everyone, this is my first post on Permies. Com. Fantastic site!
Iā€™m doing a landscaping job and there are soil dwelling bees in one of the larger ceramic planters I need to plant.
Anyone know if a way to get them to find a new home without hurting them?
Thanks

If they are mason bees you could try building them a house like this. Not sure of the best way to convince them to move.

Argue for your limitations and they are yours forever.

Thanks for your advice.

I figured out they are bumblebees with the help of this website.

And here is an article about moving bees for anyone else who might need to know

Have to move them at night!
