The Mason Bee is a type of solitary bee known for its unique nesting habits. Unlike social bees like honeybees, Mason Bees do not live in colonies. Instead, they create individual nests in small cavities, often using mud to seal their homes, which is how they got their name. Mason Bees are excellent pollinators, particularly for early spring flowers. They are typically active from March to June and are attracted to a variety of plants. Their role in pollination is crucial for many crops, making them important for agriculture and biodiversity.
