Polk County Itemizer-Observer • April 15, 2015 9A Polk County News BIRTHS Mason bees: a plant’s friend The gardening season is young, but mason bees are out for their short but pro- ductive foray into the blooms of your backyard. These solitary native bees — most commonly the blue orchard mason bee (Osmia lignaria) — get busy before honeybees and set to work on early-flowering plants like forsythia, pieris and especially fruit trees. “Mason bees fill a spot in the season when other polli- nators are not out,” said Brooke Edmunds, a horti- culturist with Oregon State University’s Extension Serv- ice. “They’re really impor- tant for fruit trees, especially in cool, wet areas.” As honeybees continue to struggle for survival, mason bees take on a bigger role in the backyard garden, ac- cording to Edmunds. Both serious and casual garden- ers welcome these earnest pollinators to get better yields of fruits, vegetables and flowers. K YM P OKORNY Your Garden Mason bees are smaller than honeybees, have a bluish hue and are often mistaken for flies. Rarely do you have to worry about being stung because these unaggressive bees live alone and have no hive to protect. Unlike honeybees that fly up to four miles to find their preferred food, mason bees don’t go much farther than 300 feet. They move in a zigzag pattern, which makes them especially efficient pollinators for small spaces, according to Edmunds. The single-minded bees live to bring nectar and pollen back to the nest for their larvae that hatch from eggs laid between walls made of mud — another material the female bees must haul back to the nest. Leaving patches of mud close to nesting areas in trees or other wood will help attract them, Edmunds said. You can also encourage mason bees by creating a garden that includes plants that bloom during their ex- cursions in March to mid- or late May. Consider plants such as crabapples, redbud, flower- ing currant, elderberry, huckleberry, Oregon grape and lupine. Even the often-dreaded dandelion is a great source of food. If you want to introduce the bees rather than wait for them to arrive in the garden, Edmunds recommends pur- chasing a nesting house, which contains straws filled with cocoons that hatch in spring. They’re available on- line or at garden centers. Alternately, you can drill holes into a solid piece of untreated wood. Make the holes five-16ths of an inch in diameter, six inches deep and three-fourths of an inch apart. Insert paper straws with cocoons inside the holes. Whatever you end up using, hang houses or con- tainers under eaves or other protected areas where they’ll be protected from wind, rain and sun. Some people will bring the cocoon-filled houses in- side over winter to keep them out of reach of preda- tors. They’ll also spend time removing cocoons and washing off mites or para- sites and reinserting them into clean straws. “There are two schools of thought,” Edmunds said. “Some people want to get into high maintenance and harvest, clean and store co- coons. But that’s not neces- sary. You can always buy ad- ditional cocoons each year. And, of course, give the bees the plants they need to keep them around.” MI TOWN Today is the day that all procrastinators must sign and file those tax forms and render unto Caesar (also known as the federal and state governments) that which is due. Tax account- ants and hard-working vol- unteer helpers will no doubt be burning the midnight oil to make sure forms are filed by day’s end. Those fortu- nate folks who have refunds coming have no doubt filed already and are anxious to have that extra cash arrive as soon as possible. — Just when we think the past recession is in the rear- view mirror, projected school funding from the Oregon legislature is not as positive as districts would like to see. All county and state school districts could use extra money to provide for additional services to P ATTY T AYLOR D UTCHER Columnist students and families, but it looks as if the status quo will remain for yet another year. As one who has always sup- ported public education — my kids and grandkids have benefited from excellent schools — it is sad to see that more money is not going to be available during this next school year. — Our current and future students deser ve more funding than what is being provided in this upcoming budget. These students are going to be our communi- ty’s, state’s and nation’s fu- ture leaders and we should do whatever it takes to pro- vide them with the best edu- cation possible. Our current legislators have the power to do what it takes to help our younger generation reach their goals, and I’m sad to see that it isn’t happening, and it’s not right — or fair. — The Monmouth Senior Center is scheduling lots of spring and summertime trips and is seeking volun- teers to drive the 15-passen- ger van. All driver expenses are paid. If you can help, please contact Sue at the center at 503 838-5678. — It’s that time of year when many stores in MI Town are beginning to feature out- door plants and flowers and, good bargains can be found everywhere. We’re making plans to increase the size of the backyard vegetable gar- den and plant more straw- berries and raspberries. For those of us lucky enough to live in this wonder ful Willamette Valley, growing our own fruits and vegeta- bles is such a privilege. The recent food recalls have given many of us cause to think about our own food supply. Not everyone can plant a big garden, but we can all grow vegetables in small containers on our back porches or patios and take advantage of the op- portunity to buy local pro- duce from grocery stores or nearby farmers markets. — With the return of more daylight hours, please be watchful for kids and bikes and pets on streets and side- walks and just about every- where.
