I do it all as a hobby. I have a bee hive for honey bees as well. But in this post I am just talking about solitary bees.
In my experience Mason Bees and Leafcutter Bees will not sting you unless their life is in danger. As every one of them building homes is a queen. I have yet to be stung by one, though I have been stung by my honey bees.. though it was my fault.
Hehe yeah I love honey too :-D
