Mason bees

Anyone buy them or build homes for them? Internet says they're, ahem, the bees knees as far as pollinators for fruit trees.

They are native to my area. Never tried to do anything with them but I've noticed more of them since the honey bee decline.

Thanks,

The kids in the outdoor program at school build them and put them in the school forest. I was checking them out one day. The houses look easy to make. They each have there own little hole that a mason bee lives in and looked a lot like a small birdhouse.
