Mason Bees or Blue Orchard bees (BOB) are Native Bees and used to be found in huge numbers in every mainland state and Canada.  One hundred sixty Mason Bees could do the work of 20,000 Honeybees.

Before the 1950s, Honeybees were used mainly for their honey; as a sweet treat, and to make honey mead.

In the 1940s, pesticides were developed to control mosquitoes in the Asia-Pacific Theater.  After World War II, pesticides were provided by chemical manufacturers to North America’s farmers.  Their success was instantaneous.  Pesticides like DDT were cheap, effective in small quantities, easy to apply, and widely toxic.  However, inadvertently farmers unwittingly also devastate North America’s Native Pollinators.

With “Colony Collapse Disorder,” Native bees are desperately needed again.

You can help.

Reintroduce them into your garden.  One Mason Bee female will pollinate 20,000 blossoms a day.  With food now on the table, sit in your garden and watch lavish butterflies and darting hummingbirds visit.

Mason Bees require only 20 minutes to set up and are inexpensive.  And unlike Honeybees, they hibernate from July through February while you take the winter off.

Until we have reintroduced Mason Bees in every region of the United States and Canada, there will be Mason bees for sale through Rocky Pond Nursery
