Raise Solitary Cavity-Nesting Bees

Of the 20,000+ bee species globally, < 10% are social bees like honey & bumble bees. The other 90% are solitary bees.

Types of Solitary Bees

Solitary bees live independently, not in colonies with a queen and workers like honeybees and bumble bees. Each female builds her nest, collects her pollen and nectar, and lays her eggs without any help from other bees.
