  • Planting yarrow and milkweed is great for native bees, at least where I live.

    I suspect this would not boost native mason bees to the same extent. Each mason bee makes about 25 cocoons for her eggs in a season, while a honey bee queen can lay 200k, and the remaining work goes to the rest of the hive.

    Or do you mean putting out the supplement for feral honey bee hives?
