You can buy houses for them as well as the bees themselves (in the pupae state), and they don't take the care and management of honey bees. With honey bees they need to be kept in hives with removable frames (law in all states), need to be registered (most states I believe), and without periodic care will simply die out and spread disease. -Tim If you are looking for pollination without keeping bees, you may want to check out orchard mason bees.

I don't want to be a keeper, or raise them, or even necessarily harvest honey. I have about 10 fruit trees and a vegetable garden and want to encourage pollination with a variety native to my area. What/how would you recommend my doing this? Thanks for any info you can give April M Hi there -
