Growing a Greener World Episode 502 - Solitary Bees

Today, backyard gardeners may hold the key to the future success of food on our plates. While honeybees are directly responsible for more than 30% of all the food we eat, their population continues to decline in alarming numbers. When orchard managers of the world begin looking for an alternate pollinator, solitary mason bees may be just the answer. In this episode, we explore these solitary creatures, learn just how easy it is to raise them at home, and see that the security of our future food supply just might lie with these unsung heroes, the solitary mason bees.

This is easily my favorite episode of yours! In fact, I have linked to the first release from about 4 years go in my content a few times and even sent it to friends. I am so excited to have seen this again this morning. I follow Crown Bees because of this episode and this reminded me I wanted to make a few boxes of my own for this year. It is now on my list! I have saved plain paper from shipping boxes with no chemicals to make my own tubes for years now. It is about time I start using it up!😃
By the way, the link to the show notes in the description leads to a Error 404 page, fortunately it was easy to search, though... just an FYI for the maintenance department. 😉

Thank you. I’m glad you found this again. And you’re right about getting the shownotes synced up. This transition still has work to do. 👍
