Mason bees and leafcutter bees
-
Mason bees: solitary spring pollinators that nest in existing cavities and partition nest cells with mud.
-
Leafcutter bees: solitary warm-season pollinators that line nest cells with pieces of leaves or petals.
These are not honeybee colonies and do not use a hive with a mated queen. A successful setup depends on suitable local temperatures, forage, nesting material, moisture or leaf resources, and following the supplier’s release and care instructions.
