Pollinating Pals Mason Bee Nest

Every gardener knows the importance of attracting pollinating bees to the garden. The Lawn and Garden Performance Group says that the Blue Mason Bee is capable of doing the pollination work of 120 honeybees. That's a lot of pollination. The Pollinating Pals Mason Bee Nest attracts Mason Bees and then invites them to make themselves at home. Place one in a sheltered spot near your garden and they'll set to work. According to The Lawn and Garden Performance Group, "Efficacy studies performed in Sweet Cherry Orchards in Ogden, Utah, showed a yield of 31.5 thousand pounds of cherries using the Mason Bee Nest compared with 9.5 thousand pounds of cherries using standard honeybees for pollination."
