Bird feeders, bird houses and more!

Orchard mason bees are becoming an increasingly popular pollinator in home gardens and even large fruit orchards. Unlike honeybees, these small blue bees are not victim to colony collapse, and to the surprise of many, they are non-aggressive and non-destructive. They are rather gentle blue-black bees that typically live in holes found in trees and wood.

Mason bees are native to many areas throughout North America, breeding early spring to mid-summer. While it is possible to capture mason bees, many people choose to purchase their first set of bees to establish a solid foundation for their colony. Because mason bees are not threatening you are able to get an up-close look at them without the fear of being stung.

Mason bees do not produce honey but rather they are pollinators to all of our plants making them a great addition to your garden. You can help provide housing for mason bees by purchasing one of our mason bee houses, mason bee nesting trays and pair it with a Mason Bee Book !
