About the OBA

The Orchard Bee Association (OBA) was started in 2011 by a team of independent businesses, orchard managers, and researchers to accelerate the production and use of orchard mason bees (specifically, Osmia lignaria, O. cornifrons, O. cornuta, and O. rufa) in various spring crops and orchards. We encourage a role of stewardship, preservation, and enhancement of orchard bee populations as well as responsible wild bee management practices to preserve local genetic stock of bees with respect to elevation, climate, and local flora.
