Mason Bees

It is time to get ready to host mason bees in the North West! We have read two stories recently that had bees in them. The first was From Grimm's called 'The Queen bee" and the second is " The little Girl who would not work" from the book For the children's hour. This last story was a good choice considering we have had a slow start, since moving cross the country, at getting back (full swing) into our rhythm. But we are on our way! If you do not have one of these hand drills, it is a really great thing to get! My son thoroughly enjoyed drilling holes in that block of wood for the mason bees! Mason bees are gentle pollinators and we are hoping they help us grow some yummy blueberries! For more info on mason bees, check out this website.
