We are glad be involved with Rent Mason Bees- a western Washington-based company that rents bees to backyard gardeners and orchardists. These native bees are non-aggressive, highly efficient pollinators. Renting bees allows you to enjoy the pollination services of these bees, but not have to worry about taking care of them the rest of the year.
Rent Mason Bees supplies pollination kits which contain safe, local bees to provide a sustainable and economical solution for gardeners, fruit growers and farmers. When your pollination needs have been met at the end of the season, you don't need to hassle with the care, cleaning and storage of the bees. You simply return the kit to them and they do the work. Through renting bees, your spring and summer crops are pollinated, you help boost native bee populations, and you directly support the production of food that will end up in our grocery stores.
Zenith Holland is now an established pick up and drop off location making renting bees convenient and easy. These bees are very docile, so your children and pets will be safe around these insects. They provide rentals of both a spring pollinator, the blue orchard mason bee, and a summer pollinator, the leafcutter bee.
Go to www.rentmasonbees.com to learn more about the bees and to reserve your kit for spring 2018!
Olivia Shangrow is the in-house Biologist for Rent Mason Bees. She is passionate about the protection of wild bees and through bee talks she hopes to raise awareness about how to support our threatened bee populations and the important roles they play in our ecosystems.
