Some use Cedar, I've used it with no obvious side effects, yet many conversations about it end with, it Gases off n it Holds Moisture !?

Re: 2020 Scouts
Some are claiming Seasons starting Early.
You must be on par with Allen Hanson. Mabe Early Scouts, correlats with Established Colonys?
Or first Scout arrived on 2 may, last year, as we started 3rd Season.

So do you use Cedar exclusively or along with other nest materials & with no Issues?
Are Cedar shavings & Cedar pet bedding one n the same?

Re: Pre-nest material
We have used Cedar shavings on a couple occasions with no noticeable issues. Yet some claim Cedar produces a gas that may Harm young & that Cedar also tends to retain Moisture!?

Been good amount of discussion on the topic!
PM Hosts want to know, is pine or Cedar bedding or shavings appropriate?
Mr. Perry, what's your thought the subject?
