With fall fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about our Mason Bees and preparing them for winter. Last spring after the female bees laid their eggs and then disappeared, those eggs hatched and new larvae emerged.
Spread the word to your friends, family and co-workers to come out on July 12th to tour our beautiful gardens, hear live music, watch a spinning wheel demonstration and experience the art of 18 local artisans.
Mason Bees are one of several hundred bees native to the Northwest. Unlike the imported European Honey Bees, Mason Bees do not make honey, do not live in a colony, and do not sting; however, they are very good pollinators.
