Mason Bee Nest Kits Information


Mason Bee Houses Attract these friendly American bees to your garden - though they won't give you honey, they won't ever chase or sting you either. They do a great job pollinating orchards and gardens, especially since they are active in colder temperatures and their hairy bodies carry more of the pollen that fertilizes your blossoms. Grow a big colony in just a few seasons. They're fun to watch.

It's really easy to attach our Mason Bee Houses to a wooden building, - up under the eaves, where it's sheltered and dry.

Buy a roll of Plastic Hanger Tape from the Plumbing Supplies department of a hardware store or home center. It's used to support PVC drain pipes in basements and crawl spaces. It comes with pre-punched nail holes every half inch or so.

Wrap a length around the body of your Bee House until two sets of nail holes overlap. Cut the tape.

Hammer a flat headed nail through the overlapping holes and all the way into the wood until tape is firmly held. Then slide the Bee House about half way into the snug loop.

Always install Bee Houses where they will be protected from direct rain, which would damage the Masons' mud work. Up close under the eaves of a shed, garage or porch is a perfect location.

KCOBRT REPLACEMENT MASON BEE HOUSE TUBES (100 TUBES)
REPLACEMENT MASON BEE HOUSE TUBES (100 TUBES)
Try to provide fresh nesting tubes for your Mason Bees to replace tubes that have been used last year. This helps protect against a buildup of parasitic mites that can carry over in used tubes. Unused tubes are still good, of course.
