Wild Ones + Crown Bees: Partnering for a Greener World

Join us in the Discovery of Wild Solitary Cavity-Nesting Bees!

Welcome Wild Ones!

Our collaboration combines the strengths of both organizations. Habitats, rich with pollen nectar, along with space to live, will have a positive impact on pollinator conservation.

Discover the Magic of Solitary Bees

These solitary bees are fascinating creatures that nest in small cavities, such as hollow stems and pre-existing holes in wood. Unlike social bees, each female solitary bee is a queen in her own right, building and provisioning her own nest.

Why Solitary Bees Matter

Solitary bees play a crucial role in pollinating our gardens, farms, and wild spaces. They are incredibly effective pollinators, often outperforming honeybees in certain crops. By supporting solitary bees, you contribute to a healthier ecosystem and more bountiful harvests.

How You Can Help

Creating a welcoming environment for solitary bees is simple and rewarding. Here are a few steps you can take:

  • Provide Nesting Sites: Install bee houses or leave natural cavities in your garden.
  • Plant Bee-Friendly Flowers: Choose a variety of native plants that bloom throughout the growing season.
  • Avoid Pesticides: Use organic gardening practices to protect bees from harmful chemicals.
