Finding Home
A Story of a Mason Bee
Authors: Brannen Basham and Jill Jacobs
Illustrator: Beth Basham
Finding Home shows readers an inside look at the lives of six beneficial native creatures through an engaging and educational tale of a mason bee’s search for a new home.
Like most native bees, mason bees only need a few important things nearby to survive: plenty of flowers, water to drink, and a place to call home. While searching for its new home, the mason bee meets other beneficial wildlife including bumblebees, ants, caterpillars, butterflies, and hummingbirds!
