Knox Cellars Mason Bees

03/24/2026

Free Orchard Mason Bee seminar next Saturday, March 28th at 11 am. Come learn about the care and keeping of these magnificent pollinators! Limited seating and parking. Please bring chairs and carpool.

Q: Are mason bees good pollinators?
A: They are the best pollinator in the world of bees! They will pollinate effectively 1,600 flowers per day whereas a European honeybee will visit 600 to 700 flowers per day, but only pollinate approximately 30 of them (a dismal 5 percent success rate).

Q: Why support mason bees in your backyard?
A: With many of our other native and honey bee populations in trouble due to mite infestations and pesticides, we find it even more important than ever to raise these pollinators and to provide proper shelter for them.
