Honey Bees Are Not The Only Or The Best Pollinators

There are more bees that pollinate our plants then just Honey Bees.  Check this article out and I do hope that you go to the links provided.

Many of the news today is all about the decimation of the honey bees that live and grow and thrive in a hive.  

Did you know thought that there are other bees that pollinate our flowers and make our crops grow that are not these social bees?  

Yes and they are gentle and they do not produce honey but there are great pollinators.  We do not need these honey bees to pollinate our crops, flowers, trees and vegetables.  

Mason bees are just one of the many species of bees that only pollinate.  They do not live in hives but in solitary places and you can make these places very simply.  

We, as a people, on this planet are finding alternative pollinators and bees that are coming to the forefront of gardening.  These solitary bees, or mason bees, do not have the same problems or diseases as do the honey or social type of bees.  Actually there is very little bad about these bees. 

I just watched this show on my Public Television Station.  The program is called Growing a Greener World.  The website and video for this episode is: http://www.growingagreenerworld.com/solitary-bees-pollinators/
