Although honey bees are the major pollinator for orchard and farm crops, the importance of the orchard mason bee and other native pollinators is becoming increasingly recognized. In response to this shift, Ruhl Bee Supply has launched orchardbees.com to support our customers working with mason bees, and to promote education on mason bees.
Ruhl Bee Supply has been operating in the Portland, Oregon area for 111 years. We are a major supplier of honeybees and beekeeping equipment. We also supply mason bees in tubes and cocoons, mason bee houses, mason bee tubes and liner, as well as educational material on mason bees.
Our highly experienced staff works hard to stay well informed on native pollinators such as the mason bee as well as honey bees. We review all the texts we provide, and we subscribe to the major and regional bee journals. We also provide classes on the basics of mason bees.
