Also known as Pieris, it is an early blooming plant. This is very important to me due to the kind of Bees I help raise. In February or Mach these flowers bloom and give the Bees a great nectar and pollen source. Since the Bees show up early on in th...

Today I want to show my home for bees in my garden. Last year I purchased some "ready to go" bee-homes from a hardware store and placed them at a sheltered position under a roof. They do their job good, but soon I discovered that not all sections of...

I am really glad the Mason Bees are making use of the bee boards I constructed for them last year. I left the old bee homes out so the Bees inside could emerge. The homes with holes in the mud are spots where previous Bees have already left for the...

I built a bee house last year for the Solitary Bees, though this is not a bee hive. Its just a place for me to place boards and let them traverse between the boards and nearby by flowers and sources of mud. I leave my Lumix GH3 camera set up on a tr...

I have a spot in mind for growing something new, figured a perennial plant that I can eat would be a good idea. I settled on Asparagus and got two kinds, some green Jersey Giant Knight and Purple Passion. I dig trenches for the roots and widen out t...
