Abstract:
"Mason Bee Revolution explores the facts (and fictions) of pollination and food production, with a focus on how mason bees can help everyday gardeners get more from their own fruit trees, berry patches, and vegetable beds. Raising these hardworking bees is a fun, simple hobby for gardeners, conservationists, foodies, and families alike. Learn all the detailed, easy-to-follow information you need to keep both mason and leafcutter bees."--Back cover.
