REFILL for Mason Bees (includes 50-60 mason bee cocoons)
OUR SERVICE INCLUDES FALL CLEANING: At Rent Mason Bees we offer a way for people to be a part of their food
source and help native solitary bee populations, but not have to worry about
doing the fall cleaning which is critical when hosting mason bees. When you
rent our bees, you keep your black house and send your nesting blocks back to
us in September. We will then harvest and clean all your cocoons to remove
harmful predators like pollen mites, Houdini fly larvae and chalkbrood. Then, we
sterilize all your nesting blocks over fire and flame to burn any remaining
predators. After they’re all cleaned and dried, we place them on a light table
and pick out any non-viable bees. They are then placed in cool storage to safely
hibernate over winter. The bees we send you will be healthy, strong and eager to
pollinate your blooms.
