Our House Now 12/20/08: We had the tree cut down. Expensive but I saw the base of the tree wrinkling and was worried if was rot in the middle we would have a tree falling on the house in the next storm)

Build a mason bee house


The next step towards sustainability
Build a mason bee house! Mason bees don't sting unless they are physically being squished. They pollinate more effectively than most bees, and they live in a solitary manner. With the directions on this page we can make bee houses for our gardens.

More information, good pictures
