teddy bees


The Gentle Pollinator

The Orchard Mason Bee is a gentle, shiny blue-black metallic bee, and slightly smaller than a honey bee. They are not aggressive and they may be observed at very close range without fear of being stung, unless they are handled roughly or if trapped under clothing. They make excellent pollinating insects, but do not produce honey.
