How can you tell if you have Mason bees verses honey bees? Mason bees go into multiple cracks and crevices like porch ceilings, patio chairs and door frames. There will be a break or pause between the traveling bees. Honey bees have one entry point and hundreds come and go directly from the one entry point. There is no pause or break in flying bees when it's sunny and warm over 55'F. | Mueller Honey Bee
