Mason Bee Revolution is more than a guide to pollination--it's a call to action for protecting our food systems, ecosystems, and future. A comprehensive update of the bestselling original, this new edition features expanded instruction, fresh insights, and vibrant full-color photography throughout.

With over 35 years of experience through his company, Crown Bees, author Dave Hunter introduces readers to the remarkable world of mason and leaf bees--native pollinators capable of visiting up to 2,000 flowers a day, compared to just 15 by honey bees. Their gentle nature makes them easy to raise in gardens, parks, and urban spaces, and their impact on food crops and native flora is unmatched.

This edition includes new or expanded chapters on leaf bees, identifying and managing pests, cultivating bee-friendly habitats, and supporting other wild bees across North America. Readers will also find updated research, expert insights, and practical tips on using native plants to attract and sustain pollinators.

Perfect for gardeners, educators, and conservationists alike, Mason Bee Revolution, 2nd Edition, empowers everyone to play a part in rebuilding healthy pollinator networks--and securing a thriving, sustainable planet.
