Peter,

I developed a product 15 years ago for Clyde Robbins Seed Company called “Border Patrol”  It is a wildflower mix designed to attract beneficial insects.  I think it is still on the market.  Check out their web site.  I have seen offers for mason bee houses on the web some place, so give Google a good runthru and they should pop up.  Gardens Alive sells a product to increase bee pollination on plants and several other good insect type products.  Perhaps some of our list members from Europe or Australia will have some ideas.

Subject: [GWL]: Mail order insect houses

 

Hi folks,

I'm trying to put together an article for my www.intriguinginsects.com site that covers potential Christmas gits for insect-loving gardeners.  Are there any on-line mail order companies out there that provide lacewing hibernation boxes, nest boxes for mason bees etc?  Even special seed mixes for attracting butterflies, bees to the garden?  Anything promoting charities / conservation groups is especially welcome.

Any other ideas for on-line 'insect gifts' also appreciated (please reply off-list if your suggestion is really off topic).

And while Lon is asking people to plug new products - my latest 'product' ;-) is an article about fig pollination.  If you're interested, check out 'Figs and fig wasps: a tale of specificities' at www.intriguinginsects.com

Thanks for your help,

Peter
