Can you be more specific? Are you looking for trees that attract bees, as in Apple trees. Almond trees?

Or do you mean trees that bees live in?

Evodia (BeeBee Tree)

I can help you out with some seeds next year, but have no trees in that size range for shipping.

Sounds like it would be a real good tree to plant a few of.

I looked these up earlier in the year from posts but forgot!  Thanks for bringing em up again!  Our season starts so late that after the blackberries there are still lots of things going, at least till the end of Sept.  Scouting the property for places now though, the Bee Trees sound attractive..hmmm. :)  J

My mentor has these in his yard they look fantastic, cute little white "b-b's" in the flower and its really wide spread so allot of bees can get on them all at once. I will be looking into getting some of these in the spring as well. Can't wait! =))
