Introducing : The Backyard Bee Project

The Backyard Bee Project is a community service project of Fruits to Fronds Restoration under sponsorship from the Seattle Parks Foundation. We plan to install mason bee houses for community partners - public gardens, schools, learning centers - thus creating more nesting opportunities for bees and experiential learning opportunities for humans. This project is in its early stages…more to come!

Introducing our own line of bee houses!

We have started making bee houses in-house with help from The Wood Knot Carver!

Project goals

  • Install bee houses on a scale that could support their populations

  • Create experiential learning opportunities for the public by involving them in bee house processing through workshops

  • Collaborate with community partners to ensure ongoing care of mason bee houses

  • Raise awareness about the bee decline and importance of floral habitat (knowing that bee houses are not a catch-all solution)

  • Provide local teens with exposure to environmental careers

  • Show our community that conservation can happen on a local scale

benefit from having a bee house?
