Join us for an exciting and informative session about mason bees! Brought to you by Mason Bee expert and founder of Fat Dog Farms, Michelle Berg. Discover the incredible world of mason bees and learn how these amazing pollinators can boost your berry and fruit yields with minimal effort.

In this class, we’ll cover everything from their habitat and predators to the full lifecycle and how to maintain a clean, thriving nest. You’ll walk away with all the knowledge needed to raise your very own successful backyard colony.

Blue Orchard Mason Bees are gentle, sting-free, and easy to care for. As one of the first bees to emerge in spring, they’re perfectly timed to pollinate early-blooming fruit, berries, and nut trees. These hardworking little bees buzz from flower to flower, collecting and distributing pollen – and they don’t swarm or produce honey, making them ideal for the home garden.
