I'm in Albuquerque NM, if I put this out now ( temps still 90+ daily) will it attract bees or is it best to wait until Spring?

You can hang your Bee Nesting House any time of year. Native bees will lay eggs in the tubes this year and adults will emerge in the spring.

When would these be useful in NH? I also need more info as to their purpose. Do they house bees for a short period of time?

This is a house built to attract native Mason bees to nest. They nest in tunnels from February to May. The eggs will hatch and the baby bees stay in the nest until the following spring.

Will there be any issues with placing multiple bee houses together? Should they be separated by a certain distance?

You can place two Bee Nesting Houses close but have them facing slightly different directions. They do like morning sun the best.

What are the tubes made of and where can you get replacements

Some Bee Nesting Houses have removable tubes. This house does not have removable tubes. Once the bees emerge in the spring, you will need to replace the house.

What is the best time to put out in West Virginia and how does it attract the bees?

The Bee Nesting House should be placed outdoors in early spring in West Virginia. The natural hollow nesting tubes will attract Mason Bees.
