Mason Bees are native bees that can pollinate 100 times more than Honey Bees. Easy to raise in town gardens, Mason Bees are named from their habit of making compartments of mud in their nests, which are made in hollow reeds or holes in wood made by wood-boring insects. Unlike honey bees Mason Bees are solitary; every female is fertile and makes her own nest, and there are no worker bees for these species. Solitary bees produce neither honey nor beeswax. After 4 years of experience with the Native Mason Bee, Nathalie wants to share all the benefits and experiences she has learned from the Bees. Nathalie will show participants how to build native mason bee house and bring a cocoon to show.
There will be used garden books and magazines for
purchase.
Books are $1.50
