The Orchard Mason Bee: The Life History, Biology, Propagation, and Use of a North American Native Bee
Congratulations!  I found your book on the Orchard Mason Bee fascinating,  It is engrossing, scholarly, and well written in an informal, conversational style which holds the interest of non-scientists such as myself.  I read every word.  --Ruth Miller, Master GardenerFortunately help (for the pollination crisis) is at hand.  Thanks in large part to Bellingham's Brian Griffin, native bee-master extraordinaire, it's now easy to learn a lot more about the habits and needs of our non-aggressive native bees. His enchanting bee books...are a delight to read, particularly if you have kids who like to learn about bugs.  --Ann Lovejoy, columnist and AuthorWhat began as a poorly pollinated Belgian fence of 40 varieties of apples and pears, and a subsequesnt Cooperative Extension Bee Bulletin, has become a burgeoning business and never-ending stream of educational encounters for Brian Griffin as he introduces ffascinated gardeners to their long time neighbor and newly recognized friend, the Orchard Mason Bee.  The charminly written and illustrate little book covers the life history, biology, propagation, and use of a truly benevolent and beneficial insect.  --Stephanie Feeney, author Northwest Gardeners Resource Directory and Gardeners on the Go
