About me

Introduction I began beekeeping in my 30's, not for the love of insects, but for the love of honey! It did not take long before I was hooked on the study of bees though. At Simon Fraser University I looked after research honey bee colonies, completd my Masters and PhD degrees on bees. In 1999 I started my company Beediverse Products. I developed a line of products to make keeping mason bees a successful hobby. Products include educational items(book,DVD and poster),mason bee houses and tools(Beediverse.com). My main interest and passion is to figure out how to best manage mason bees and produce them by the billions. For this reason we are continually testing new ideas, widgets and gadgets for making the job of keeping mason bees easier and more successful. This blog includes: descriptions of how to best use products listed on our web site, descriptions of new products that are under development, stories from readers,research news and other items related to keeping mason bees.
