Liz,

Would you please expound a bit more on how to 'redirect housing' for
carpenter bees? We have lots and they are a godsend in pollination of our
apricots since the cots bloom so early and the honey bees are still relaxing
in their hives. I would like it if the carpenter bees would take up
residence somewhere other than in our shop and roadside market.

Thanks!
