About Rent Mason Bees:
Whether you rent from our program and we clean your bees or your host your own, it’s important to harvest and clean your mason bee cocoons every fall. Watch this video as we walk you through our process step by step to learn how.
FIRE- We sterilize all our nesting blocks to remove predators like pollen mites and chalkbrood fungus.
WATER – We give our bees a bath in a mild water and bleach solution to clean off all the mud and predators.
LIGHT – We pick out every cocoon that is no longer viable on our light table.
Our program makes it easy to become a solitary bee host. Gardeners purchase a bee kit that comes with house, nesting block, clay and bees. You release solitary bees into your yard and RENT our nesting blocks for your bees. When you release the bees into your yard they will lay babies in your natural habitat and your nesting block. Harvesting and cleaning the cocoons and blocks is a critical step when hosting solitary bees to remove harmful predators. When you rent from us we take care of the maintenance and cleaning for you. You keep the black house and return the nesting blocks back to us. The following year, you will just need to reorder an “insert” with a sterilized nesting block and clean bees. Please watch our Fall Harvest Video to see how we clean them.
