Easily aid in the conservation of Mason Bees, one of the most highly
effective pollinators of flowers, vegetables and fruit crops (they can
pollinate 10x more than honey bees!). The Welliver Mason Bee house
provides an ideal bee-keeping solution for the busy homeowner or
part-time gardener. The house is equipped with paper tubes where the
female bees can lay eggs from March to August. The larvae will develop
over the winter months in the tubes and will emerge as adult bees the
following spring. Tubes should be replaced after use or every 1-2
seasons. Mason bees are non-aggressive and cannot excavate their own
cavities, so they are not a threat to property. They typically nest in
pre-made cavities such as woodpecker holes, insect holes and hollow
stems, making the Mason bee house an ideal alternative. Durably
constructed of 3/4" cedar, this bee house will provide a
lasting habitat with minimal upkeep. SELECTING A SITE: The Mason Bee
house can be placed on the ground near the garden, mounted to the side
of a building or post, or placed on/near a wood pile. Do not place the
house near a bird feeding station. The tube openings should face away
from prominent winds. Length: 7.25"Depth: 5.5"Height: 5.0". Made in the USA.
