Designed for durability, reusability, and easy cocoon harvesting, our wood trays are the perfect choice for dedicated Mason bee raisers.


Why You’ll Love Them

Key Features

  • Insulation & Moisture Control: Protects cocoons from temperature extremes and mold.
  • Natural Nesting Scents: Wood’s porous nature retains natural scents, attracting Mason bees for the next season.
  • Pest Protection: Side notches align trays, preventing pests from entering from the sides. Includes removable cardboard backing and pest-blocker fabric for extra defense.
