Comment BEE for more information about bees and pollination in your garden! Just so you know, Mason bees technically have stingers but they are so docile that they are often considered stingless. In my mind they kind of look like a cross between a bee and a fly. The downside of this bee is that they have an earlier life span that is generally April through June and so they are best for pollinating fruit trees and other early blossoms instead of summer crops.
