Just found this site after Greg Alder's post on creating a bee garden for pollinating avocados. Thanks for your information. Now to get ready to see what i can still get from Crown Bees. thanks!
Glad you found us. Good luck! Thanks for watching & commenting.
Mason bee shipping season ended in April. However, we are currently sending Summer Leaf bees!
Way to go David.
Thanks!! It’s been fun learning about these bees and we definitely see the results in the garden. They are powerful pollinators!!
American Bee Journal (Feb 2024). Honey Bees are only 5% efficient in pollination. Mason and Leaf Cutter Bees are 95% efficient! Ideal for Small Gardens, and a lot less work, Native and Mason/Leaf Cutter Bees are ideal for the Home Garden.
Fascinating aren’t they?! We love all things bees. Thanks for watching & commenting.
Garden is as ready as it could be, but where are the bees? Weather is appalling and most of my bees vanished recently.
Oh no! Yes, this year’s weather has been strange for sure. We have started seeing more as of late. Hopefully you will as well. Good luck to you with your bees & gardens. Thanks for watching & commenting.
@@OurWeekendHomestead I am doubtful bees will return they only live up to 6 weeks, and about 3 of those weeks have already passed. Very depressed over it
I read that mason bees can sting but the sting is too small to penetrate the human skin.
They are super docile and we rarely see ours. Never had any issues with them at all. Thanks for watching & commenting.
Is there a good location to put your Mason Bee house ?
