Mason Bees (Tube of 6)
Mason Bees are excellent early-spring pollinators; they are 120 times more effective than honey bees because they have a lot of hair on their body which picks up pollen. Available in March

Referred to as solitary bees, they do not have a queen or a hive, they do not make honey and they tend not to sting. Mason Bees are active in colder temperatures which make them very effective in orchards or home gardens pollinating fruit trees. Six cocoons per tube, two females and four males.
