About this product

Product Information

The national media regularly features dire stories on honeybee colony collapse and its danger to our food supply. But there's another, unsung bee that has the potential to save the planet--the mason bee. Mason Bee Revolution explains how docile, hard-working, solitary mason bees (and their compatriots, the leafcutter bees) are even more productive pollinators than honeybees, and keeping them can be a fun, easy, backyard hobby for gardeners, conservationists, foodies, and families everywhere. Why these bees? Bee pollination is critical for about 80 percent of US agricultural crops, increasing crop value by an estimated $15 billion annually. Since 2006, nearly a third of all honeybee hives have been lost each year, due to parasites, pesticides, habitat loss, climate change, and a newer malady called Colony Collapse Disorder. While scientists search for answers to save the honeybee, Dave Hunter and his company, Crown Bees, are leading the effort to increase the population of other highly efficient pollinators: One mason bee can produce twelve pounds of cherries, via pollination, where it would take sixty honey bees to achieve the same. Mason Bee Revolution is an easy-to-follow guide to keeping both mason and leafcutter bees. It tells you how to set up, care for, and harvest your own bees and what types of plants and habitat encourage mason and leafcutter bees, as well as provides general information on other common pollinators and bee-related facts, projects, and personalities.

This merchant is a treasure! She notified me of a tiny blue ink name on a blue page that she had overlooked (I wouldn’t have noticed if she hadn’t pointed it out!!) and offered to refund my money if it wasn’t perfect enough for me. I asked to see a photo and she replied immediately. I could barely see the name, and told her it was no problem in an otherwise perfect copy at a great price. It arrived today and looks brand new. I appreciate her honesty and great communication and packaging!

    Good Overview and Practical Resource on Mason Bees

    Good introduction to Mason bees and well presented guidance for raising them, including a great description of what goes on/needs to be done month by month of a bee year. This is my go to reference book - it is a good complement to the many more folksy books on the subject. Recommended!
