STUDIO M CROWN BEES ▲ Garden decor ▲ 'Bee' ready for holiday giving ON OO AT LS ▲ R CO Enlisting native bees to help pollinate gardens is as easy as providing a place for them to raise their young. But bee houses made from bamboo or other materials that facilitate the spread of disease can hurt more than they help. Instead, charming cedar bee houses from Crown Bees allow gardeners to provide a clean nesting site and are available in a variety of sizes and styles. Upgraded kits include nesting materials and a certificate redeemable for the bees themselves. Prices: $42.95 and up. crownbees.com.
