It has an open flower design, great for mason bees. It’s an early bloomer, you plant it before the last frost, and it continues to bloom for up to a month. - Published: 2025-02-20 - Modified: 2025-02-23 - URL: https://www.rockypondnursery.com/wild-mustard/ Wild Mustard Our wild Mustard is very unique; you cannot obtain anything like it anywhere else. It starts growing before the last frost of spring, it is resistant to killer frost if one should one occur. It will flower very early in the spring before your Mason Bees emerge. Our seed mix consists of three varieties of wild mustard, each blooming a week or so later, than its predecessors. What does this mean to your mason bees? When they hatch they have been without food for 6 months. They need ASAP, a reliable food supply, to recharge their body’s fat reserves, if they cannot find it within a few days, inside 100 yards of the nest, they will wander off and die! Secondarily your mason bees need a bridge between the blossoming time of each variety of fruit trees or flowers they are feeding upon. For instance, your plum tree will bloom for two weeks in mid-April and the apple trees will not begin to bloom for three more weeks. There is a week-long famine, in-between, which is a very long time for a pollinator that lives for 8-weeks. Rocky Pond Mustard is designed to compensate for both situations. One more thing our mustard seeds are not an annual variety, that needs to be replanted every year it is a perennial mix, they will grow back each year. The best time to plant your mustard seeds is in the fall. Plant on moist soil in mid-September.

Guide to Raising Mason Bees How To successfully raise Stingless Blue Mason Bees, and Summer Leaf Cutter Bees. To successfully raise Mason Bees, you must shadow manage the two seasons, of their life cycles. The time they are active and the time they sleep. When they are active you must provide, ensure, that they have wildflowers or fruit trees, a nest, that will provide shelter from wind and rain, and mud if your pollinators are Mason Bees, and soft leaves like lilac leaves for nest construction. When they are inactive you must ensure that they have a safe-haven. A place to sleep, to hibernate, in their silk cocoons.

Mason Bees Mason Bees - Tiny but mighty Mason Bees are extraordinary pollinators. They pollinate up to 100 times more effectively than honeybees. Blanketed in pollen Mason bees carry dry pollen all over their hairy bodies, much of it falling off as they move from one blossom to the next; like the Charlie Brown character, who is always covered in pulverized dust, which creates a cloud everywhere he walks. Mason bees are much the same, blanketed in pollen they leave it on every flower the Mason Bee lands on. Pollen Exchange Fruit trees blossoms carry a negative charge. Mason Bees, as they fly, produce a positive charge in the tiny hair on the body of the Mason Bee. When they land on the blossom “shazam” like magic the pollen they carry is exchanged for pollen from the blossom. Mason Bees land on a blossom once and the job is done. Honeybees must visit the blossom 20 times before enough pollen is left to get the job done. Honeybees daintily land on a blossom and collect pollen on their rear legs, using saliva to wet and attach pollen. We need more Mason Bees In a quarter acre of fruit trees, you’ll need 15,000 honeybees or 95 Mason Bees. We are losing our honeybees. We lost 50% of our honeybee hives last winter.

The more I read about tending a wildlife-friendly garden, the more I learn how nature relies on connection. Here in the city, parking lots, pavement, bare rooftops and expansive landscapes devoid of flowers (think: turf) disrupt and fragment natural habitat. Thankfully, nature doesn’t recognize property lines. Even a solitary window box, a traffic circle or a weedy crack in the sidewalk helps support our planet’s wild mix. It’s all a part of nature, as are we. A butterfly exists where it is free to flourish — where there are plants to feed the caterpillar, and shelter to keep it from getting picked off by predators. Lacking habitat, the butterflies vanish. Urban yards, parks and green spaces go a long way toward providing pathways through our neighborhoods, allowing wildlife to leapfrog from one landscape to another. To turn your garden into a thriving hotspot for biodiversity, plan and plant for year-round bloom, and aim to keep overlapping waves of flowering plants... --- > Crackling Sound : This larva of Hoplitis tridentata has two sound-producing calluses, observable as a milky, diamond-shaped patch on the face (left) and a raised, thickened ring encircling the anus (right).

The grub-like larvae use calluses to tap their cocoons in a curious chorus inside a plant stem. By Jake Buehler While adult bees and wasps make plenty of buzzy noises, their young have generally been considered silent. But the babies of at least one bee species make themselves heard, playing percussion instruments growing out of their faces and rear ends, researchers report February 25 in the Journal of Hymenoptera Research. The larvae’s chorus of tapping and rasping may be a clever strategy to befuddle predatory wasps. Unlike honeybees, the mason bee (Hoplitis tridentata) lives a solitary life. Females chew into dead plant stems and lay their eggs inside, often in a single row of chambers lined up along its length. After hatching, the larvae feed on a provision of pollen left by the mom, spin a cocoon and overwinter as a pupa inside the stem. Andreas Müller, an entomologist at the nature conservation research agency Natur Umwelt Wissen GmbH in Zurich, has been studying bees in the Osmiini tribe, which includes mason bees and their close relatives, for about 20 years. Noticing that H. tridentata populations have been declining in northern Switzerland, he and colleague Martin Obrist tried to help the bees. “We offered the bees bundles of dry plant stems as... --- > Dangerous journey to the California Almond orchards. Millions of beehives are coming into California from as far away as Maine as the almond orchards get ready to bloom next month.

Almond growers are bringing in beehives to their orchards but the supply in California is limited. Mason Bees or as many growers call them Blue Orchard bees, are coming in as reinforcements. At two and a half beehives per acre, so you can imagine we need well more than 2 million beehives to cover all the California almond acreage and there just aren’t that many beehives in California. With Mason Bees we only need 400 working females per acre. California supplies about 500,000 beehives, but another 2 million will come from out of state. Essentially, California will need about 70% of all the beehives in the U. S. “Lately, with colony collapse disorder, and drought, and climate change, and habitat loss, and newer and stronger pesticides, we’re losing 40% of our hives,” said Michael Eggman, a beekeeper in Stanislaus County.

You cannot and shouldn’t answer this question by naming a flower variety. First, we should define what Mason bees and Leafcutter bees need in a flower. Mason Bees and Leafcutter Bees need the following: Flowers that Mason bees and Leafcutter bees can see! Flowers that have a scent. Mason Bees especially need an early-blooming variety. Mason bees and Leafcutter bees need a flower variety that blooms for a month or more. Mason Bees and Leafcutter bees need a flower with copious amounts of pollen AND nectar. Flowers that have an open design. And why not a flower that is edible by man. Now that we have the criteria, let define these guidelines and then match up some flowers that meet the standards of the Mason bees and the Leafcutter bees. Flowers that Mason bees and Leafcutter bees can see! Mason bees and Leafcutter bee see flowers much differently than we do. If anything, to bees, they are more beautiful. Vision is important to mason bees, essential to help the bees find flowers at a distance. Humans see light in wavelengths from approximately 390 to 750 nanometers (nm). These wavelengths represent the range of colors we can see. Bees, see from approximately 300 to 650 nm. That means they can’t see the color red, but they can see in the ultraviolet spectrum (which humans cannot).

Conservationists have called for action to be taken to halt the 'unnoticed insect apocalypse' in order to prevent a 'catastrophic collapse of nature's ecosystems'. Leading ecologists at the University of Sussex, who carried out the report for the Wildlife Trusts, revealed that 40 percent of the one million known insect species, like mason bees, are now nearing extinction. The use of pesticides, which has doubled over the last 25 years, has seen 23 species of bees and wasps go extinct.

Mason Bees love fruit trees, apple, cherry, plum, pear, and blueberries, just to name a few. The problem is two-fold, Mason Bees are sometimes out and working before the fruit trees or bush in the case of blueberries began to blossom. There is a need to bridge the gap between when the Mason Bee starts to forage for pollen and nectar and when fruit trees start to blossom. The second problem is that fruit trees bloom for only two weeks or so and the Mason Bees live for six to eight weeks. Wild Mustard Mustard is the answer to both issues. Specifically wild mustard. Wild mustard begins to bloom very early in the spring thereby providing Mason Bees with the food and nectar they need until fruit trees blossom. Rocky Pond Nursery wild mustard is a blend of three species of wild mustard—this is of critical importance. Each species of wild mustard blooms at slightly different times throughout the spring. Thereby providing nectar and pollen early and late in the spring. Even if your fruit trees are done blooming, our wild mustard blend is still in bloom, Rocky Pond Wild Mustard blend will bloom throughout the entire life span of your Mason bees.

Leafcutters are superior, stingless native pollinators for Urban yards and vegetable gardens. A single Leafcutter Bee can replace more than A Hundred Honeybees Leafcutter queens are prolific mothers. A single Leafcutter queen can lay 30-40 eggs each pollination season; in cocoons made with green leaves; knitted together with silk thread. An order of 100 leafcutter bee cocoons will pollinate a 20x20 garden and provide 30-40 queens, each needing 2-3 nesting holes. A Rocky Pond Nursery nesting block can provide a nursery with 24 nesting holes; room for 8-12 leafcutter queens. If your nesting holes fill up, your Leafcutter queens will be forced to abandon the nesting site and disperse to another nursery site. If you order three blocks with your leafcutter bees, your order ships free. Your nesting blocks are a one-time purchase, and they can be reused for many years and are cleanable, providing a thriving population of Leafcutter bees for years to come. Nesting Blocks do not come with attractant. Attractant must be ordered separately. One more thing a raindrop weighs as much as a Leafcutter bee. You will need to provide cover from the wind and rain. Something simple like this example, even a small plastic bucket attached to a fence post, will work. Just face the opening toward the morning sun. --- ---
