The Origin of Your Leafcutter Bees

In this video, we show you their journey—from the alfalfa fields and farms of Idaho to the nesting blocks you receive in your own backyard. Whether you ordered our Pollinator Kit in spring or the summer leafcutter block, this is how your bees are raised and cared for. Learn why we ship them snug inside nesting blocks (not as fragile loose leaf cells) and how consistent warm temperatures trigger their emergence. We also explain how your returned blocks are cleaned, sorted, and used to support a second generation—because leafcutter bees are bivoltine! Watch how we release your bees back into Idaho’s fertile fields, where they pollinate and fill clean, sterilized blocks for the next season. This is pollination with purpose—sustainable, regenerative, and buzzing with life.
