Watching bees work is fascinating and helping boost the population of beneficial pollinators is rewarding! These cardboard tubes are ideal for mason bees egg laying, nesting and winter hibernation. Mason Bees are the perfect pollinator to attract to your yard! Why? Because Mason bees are native, non-stinging insects that nest in holes rather than hives and do not produce honey. The lack of hives or honey to protect explains why mason bees have no tendency toward aggression. And they're excellent pollinators—they carry pollen dry, which allows them to pollinate much more than bees that carry pollen wet—so your flowers, fruits and vegetables will benefit, too! Inviting Mason Bees to your yard provides a fun and educational opportunity to share with children, too! Kids can hold a mason bee cocoon as the bee chews its way out. It's exciting to watch as a newly emerged bee cleans itself, warms up its wings and flies away. After hatching season, just remove used tubes and replace them with our Mason Bee House Replacement Tubes.
