I have enjoyed raising mason bees for nearly 20 years. What started out as a backyarb hobby has now shifted into a full time effort to help backyard gardeners succeed with raising mason bees and other solitary insects.

They honeybees of the world are not doing well. We need gardeners to be successful with raising native insects. In about 5-7 years, we may not have all crops pollinated by our faithful honeybee and will be looking for native insects to help out.

Please roam through our website: http://www.crownbees.com. You'll find most of your questions answered there. If you have anything not answered, please email us directly. We're connected to various US Bee labs if we get stuck. :)
