Sorry it has taken a while to respond, but I am based in northern France and my bees are in Picardie. Therefore I believe you might be referring to Gord who is nearer to you. You may want to pose your question (useful to have photographs) to him.

Equally, you are welcome to post your photograph on our solitary bee Facebook page where more solitary bee amateurs hang out.

I have been neglectful of my mason bees house for a few years.
this year, after your talk I was inspired to go and buy a new set up, a nice wooden one that is easy to clean and take out the larva.

anyway, i decided to pull out the cardboard tubes, open them and clean them out as they had not been done in a few years, not sure what to find.
some had viable bees just emerging and nice looking larva.
other cells were full of something I do not know.
lots of pollen, jam packed into little spaces.
not sure what to do with these guys?
any idea what it might be?

thanks!
