Have you ever heard of a Mason Bee? I hadn't, but they are definitely great bees to have around your garden. Unlike most bees, the Mason Bee is a peaceful non-stinging bee that is also a legendary pollinator. These cool bees each visit and pollinate nearly 100 blooms each day, so it would be wise to give them a good home close by with the Mason Bee House ($15). Simply, hang this natural bamboo bee house in a tree or on a wall where it can get plenty of morning sun. The female mason bees will soon fill each of the bamboo tubes with their eggs, nectar and pollen and in return you will have immensely boosted your garden's productivity. Plus, now you can tell everyone you are a beekeeper too.
