Mason bees: The secret to a thriving garden

Mason bees might be the easiest way to boost your fruit trees and pollinate your garden—no honey, no hives, just hardworking little pollinators. All they need is a simple house made from untreated wood with smooth, deep tunnels (5/16" wide, 6" deep is perfect for our local blue orchard bees), some spring flowers, and a bit of clay mud nearby. Skip the fancy bamboo or plastic tubes—they trap moisture and can harm your bees. Want to help local pollinators and get better apples, cherries, and pears?
