Together, we have a pretty sweet impact on our community!

Did you know hole size is specific to each bee species?
Mason bees prefer 8mm holes while leafcutter bees create 6mm nesting holes. Much like the bees, we know that giving is not one size fits all. No matter the size, your recurring gift will have a BIG impact!
