They are one of the first emerging bees in spring, just in time to coincide with early blooming fruit and nut trees. These energetic little bees do not produce honey and do not swarm; they simply flit from flower to flower, gathering and distributing pollen. Hatching, pollinating, laying 30-35 eggs and dying all within 6-8 weeks in early spring through early June. These busy little bees do not live in hives, but are cavity nesting bees, meaning they want to place pollen and nectar into a hole and then lay an egg on that mass. Our Mason Bee nesting accessories are an easy way to help these pollinators live on, making your garden more productive and beautiful every year. \r\n  \u003cbr\u003e\r\n  \u003cbr\u003e\r\n  Raising Blue Orchard Mason Bees can be easy and rewarding. Mason bees will travel up to 300 feet for food before relocating to a new home, so place their home near their food source: fruit or nut trees, native flowering plants and any open-faced flowers.
