BeeMail Newsletter
BeeMail
Seasonal bee-raising guidance from people who actually raise them. Free, by email, from Crown Bees.
BeeMail follows the bees, not the calendar. You'll get guidance when you need it, written by the team raising Mason and Leafcutter bees in Woodinville, Washington. It's shaped by what the bees are actually doing in your part of the country.
Free. Practical. Right when you need it.What you'll actually get
BeeMail is timed to the bees, not to a publishing schedule. The cadence picks up in April, the busiest month for Mason bees. It settles into a steady rhythm through summer, surges again around fall harvest, and quiets in winter when the bees are resting.
You'll get:
- Release timing guidance based on what the weather is actually doing, not what the calendar says
- Seasonal maintenance reminders for bee houses, cocoons, and nesting materials
- Pest awareness, including Houdini fly and other threats to wild bees
- Garden and habitat content to help you build the kind of yard that supports bees year-round
If you live in a warm climate, you'll see different timing than someone in a cold one. That's the point. BeeMail works because it follows the bees.
Who it's from
BeeMail is written by Dave Hunter, founder of Crown Bees and author of Mason Bee Revolution, along with the Crown Bees team in Woodinville, Washington. We've spent years raising Mason and Leafcutter bees, working with researchers, and helping community scientists across the country support the wild bees in their own yards.
What you get in BeeMail comes from real practice, not marketing copy. If we've learned something from a hard season, you'll hear about it. If a new pest or technique matters, we'll explain it. We treat your inbox the way we'd want ours treated.
