Why Choose Mason and Summer Leaf Bees?

  • Mason Bees (Spring): Perfect for pollinating fruit and nut trees, berries, and early-blooming flowers. Thrive in cooler temperatures and use mud for nest-building.
  • Summer Leaf Bees: Exceptional late-season pollinators for vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, squash, and peas.

Both Mason and Summer Leaf Bees are gentle, safe, and 100 times more effective at pollination than honey bees, making them ideal for gardeners of all experience levels!


Bee Expert Tips for Success

  • Optimal Placement: Install the Chalet Bee House in a sunny spot with morning sun exposure.
  • Seasonal Maintenance: Clean out old nesting materials at the end of each season to promote healthy bees.
  • Customize Your Bee House: Fill open spaces with creative materials, like colorful sticks, to help female bees locate their nesting reeds.
