I found this other post which was also dedicated to building a bee condo. The author also has links to gardening articles regarding mason bee nests. Check out the site My Northern Garden.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I have had lots of fun this summer watching for bees to take up residence in the bee condo. My garden features lots of flowers and fruit plants, is entirely organic (and slightly messy), which may be why I have had good luck attracting insects. Fortunately, we also have frogs near our yard and the one insect we do not have too many of is the mosquito, the Minnesota state bird.
