I started to clean them out and I find many cocoons with holes in them , big and some white worms . I never done this , I bought the bee container to keep in the refrigerator but it was meant for the mason bees . Should I wait and where should I store them over the winter ? I also found bees without cocoon dead and fully developed . So many questions ..thank you

I believe we had one in our front door in the hole where the door knocker used to be.
