If you’re looking for voluptuous vegetables in your garden and fat fruit on your trees this summer, native bees are easy to care for and good for the environment!
Mason bees are ideal for fruit trees and spring pollination. For summer crops like beans or perennials, leafcutter bees are the best choice.
Try this pesticide-free, all organic method for larger fruits, vegetables and more flowers by using gentle and efficient native bees. The more pollinators visit your flowers, the larger the harvest. As a bonus, mason and leafcutter bees do not sting!
