The Orchard Mason Bee (1069 words)
The mason bee is native to the Pacific Northwest and ideally suited to the sometimes wet rainy and cool springs, emerging earlier in the season and working on days that are too rainy for the honeybee.
Since the mason bees life is devoted solely to laying eggs gathering pollen for it's young they are extremely efficient at pollination.
When the spring bloom comes you will start to see the mason bees hatching from their nesting blocks, they are not frightened by people so be sure to watch them as they go about their work.
