FAQ

Mason bees are the native bees of Colorado. They are tube nesters but construct and seal their nests with “mud” instead of leaf pieces.  Mason bees belong to the genus Osmia.  The most common is the orchard mason bee, which is a terrific pollinator of spring fruit trees.  It is short-lived and spends its adult life within 100 yards of its home and food source.

It is important to help save the bees. It can be done in multiple ways. You can plant more pollinator-friendly plants. Should be stopped the use of bee-killing pesticides in parks. Wildlife refuges, and other places bees should be safe. And you can promote sustainable, less pesticide-reliant agricultural practices.

You can have bees in Colorado. But Colorado landscapes are not always able to meet the dietary needs of honey bees. Because honey bees rely on floral diversity to maintain a healthy immune system. It is necessary for beekeepers in Colorado to feed supplements to their hives.

Beekeeping is getting a popular trend in Colorado. Several metropolises in the state are now allowing residents to keep hives on their property. Northglenn is the rearmost megacity to allow it, just passing specific rules in May.
