Mason Bee House Kit Jumbo – 118 tubes

Take the Sting Out of Bee Keeping with this 118 biodegradable bee nest kit (bees not included). Native Orchard Mason Bees are widespread throughout North America. They are superb early season pollinators of fruit trees, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries-and better than honeybees, because the Masons’ active in colder temperatures and their hairy bodies carry more of the pollen that fertilizes your blossoms. Each female Orchard Bee makes her own nest in a series of tubes, sealed with mud. They are useful, small and docile-and they hardly ever sting unless severely provoked. In nature, female mason bees lay their eggs in hollow plant stems, insect holes, dead trees, even under house shingles. Finding such places is hard work! By putting up our nest kits, you are providing an easy, ideal, “ready-made” home for the bees until they “hatch out” the following spring. They will repay your kindness by pollinating your early spring fruits and berries. And, they like company. Once the nest kits have been discovered, they’ll tell all of their friends! JUMBO MASON KIT: 118 nest tubes, 4″ diameter x 6 1/2″ long.
