Re: Osima Bees

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

There are people in both the Home Orchard Society (HOS) and North American
Fruit Explorers (NAFEX) that have them and can sell you some.  There are
links on my web site to both organizations.
Incidently, it's spelled OSMIA, not Osima.  The ones for fruit trees are
usually horn face or blue orchard bees (two different species).
