I forgot to mention the comprehensive article on blue orchard bees
that appeared in the 2002 July issue of THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL
(pages 501-503).  (I guess I thought everyone had read it already.)
One can find therein a very complete description of those bees and
how to care for them.

    You can also access the web site:  www.loganbeelab.usu.edu for
more information.
