We are excited that Beediverse will be at the next  Seattle Flower and Garden show on Feb 20-24 2013.  Come and visit our booth and bring your questions.  We will have lots of knowledgeable people at the booth to answer your questions.

We are at Booth 2319. We are sharing a double double booth with West coast Seeds.  a combination of mason bee products and seeds will be available for your garden.

Mason bee cocoons will also be available at the show.

2012 booth

I have been busy harvesting all my cocoons, cleaning cocoons and nests, doing mason bee workshops and getting ready for the busy December and spring seasons.

November is the beginning of the real winter season, and unless you have already dealt with your mason bees, this is a good time to open your mason bee nesting tunnels, harvest mason bee cocoons and clean the nest.

Of course there are a lot of details that are missing from this list, but the above list is an overview.
