I discuss the origin and rationale for using the new term “pollen bees” to refer to all bees that do not store honey that people can harvest. Pollen bees are useful only for pollination, and they represent the vast majority of bee species. Bees (Apoidea) are not truly domesticated animals; thus, they must be coaxed, managed, or induced to nest where they can be used to pollinate agricultural crops. This can be accomplished by providing appropriate nesting materials, alternative host plants, and suitable microclimates. Permanent, inexpensive, low-maintenance “bee zones” along the north sides of fields and orchards, intended to attract and hold native Apoidea for crop pollination, are proposed and described. These bee zones in sunny areas provide nest materials and supplemental flowering host plants. They would be protected from cold winds and pesticides. They also provide habitat for other beneficial insects.
