To some degree keeping them cool does delay the hatch but eventually they will hatch anyways as they seem to have an internal clock.

Can you delay or anticipate the hatching at ease just by putting the cocoons in the fridge?

That one bee near the center never made any progress on getting out of the cocoon:/

Aeroica Gaming, Yes, I witnessed a few of them die in the process of emerging. Guessing they were already in a weakened state while in their cocoons?

Yeah...I thought the same thing. I probably would have helped it but then you create generation of weak of bees

Do you have to build more houses to accommodate the volume of the new bees?

Each female can fill 2-3 chambers or tubes. So if you get good hatches or increase your numbers over the year then yes. If you don't increase the capacity the bees will then just go out and look for other nesting sites, so no worries.

Evil Eve I didn't notice a difference, in fact at that time we had more flowers out locally.

Do you put out males and females at same time?

Backyard DIYforever Yes, as they are programmed for the males to naturally hatch up to two weeks before the females.
