Re. Orchard Mason Bees
A delightful booklet on the Orchard Mason Bee was written by Brian L.
Griffin of Bellingham, Washington.
You may contact Brian at (206) 733-3283, and fx. (206) 647-2988.
You may also wish to check the catalogue of the "Nature Company" where the
same booklet is sold together with mini-starter nests.
The Mason Bees are fascinating and remarkably effective pollinators in
orchards. In some local areas where honeybees are in low numbers, Mason
bees may be the principal pollinators.
