Mason Bees

Mason bees are a type of solitary bee known for building individual nests using mud or plant material, often in small cavities like holes in wood or tubes. They are highly efficient pollinators, helping plants and crops grow by transferring pollen as they collect nectar. Unlike honeybees, they don't live in hives or produce honey; each female independently constructs her nest. Mason bees are gentle, important for maintaining healthy ecosystems, and can be encouraged by providing nesting sites. Their presence supports biodiversity and can boost local plant productivity.
