This workshop tells you all you need to know to provide a home for one of our most productive native pollinators, the mason bee. Active early in the season and busier than the proverbial bee, mason bees are solitary, native insects that pollinate all types of plants found in gardens, orchards and wild nature.  Ages 16 -- Adult.
