Native, non-stinging mason bees are pollinators of early-spring blooming trees, shrubs and berries. They are easy to care for and benefit from human hosts who provide them with a cozy nesting home to raise their young while pollinating the garden.

Being a host for mason bees is fun for all ages, and with honey bees facing many threats, the native mason bees are popular alternative pollinators.

For kids in grade K and up with their favorite adult.
