Mason Bee Cocoons
|
Item Number: MBCCN
IN STORE PICK UP ONLY
Mason bees are native to the US, and they are a great way to pollinate your backyard or small orchard. Of course, they produce no honey, pollen or beeswax, but they are simpler to manage than honey bees.
Our mason bees cocoons are taken through a quality process that is impossible to achieve with off-the-shelf mason bees. Our mason bees are carefully removed from the mason bee tube, then pre-sorted for viability and then cleaned to eliminate mites. They are then counted and installed in a small cardboard box for cold storage. Each box of mason bee cocoons contains at least 18 females and about 27 males. This is equivalent to six tubes of bees, a good number for a typical backyard. When you are ready to install your bees in Spring, just poke a 5/16th inch hole in the box to allow the bees to emerge, and place the box in the bee house. The rest is exactly the same as with tube bees.
