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.

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

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.

spring and summertime
trips and is seeking volun-

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

time and be safe.
