Mason Bees Available November
Orchard Mason Bees are easy to
maintain, and are a low-maintenance,
economical addition to your garden or
orchard. Even apartment dwellers can
contribute to the local pollinator
population with a few tubes of mason
bee cocoons.

Mason bee cocoons will be available in
November in 6" tubes, each tube
containing an average of 7 dormant
bees.

We also carry cartridge mason bee
houses. Don't settle for the standard
blocks with holes in them; they don't
allow for annual cleaning, and often
cause your nests to "crash" within one
or two years. Learn to make your own
nests at our class, or come see what
we have to offer!
