Red Mason Bee

Flight period March to early June

These little bees are a very good pollinator - starting early in the day and working till late in the evening.

I have started making Observation Hives for the Red Mason Bee Osmia Rufa.

If you would like one - I am taking them to the Suffolk Show (Bee Tent) - on sale for £14.

or contact Brian Norman at brian@ftfarm.co.uk tel 07973678501

If you would like to see the Bees working then I am in Geldeston - just North of Beccles.
