This beautiful hand-made Bee House is crafted by JCs Wildlife using recycled Poly Lumber. Featuring all screwed construction with stainless steel screws and routed edges, this house is built to last, without cracking, splitting or fading. The vibrant, UV-protected colors ensure the house will maintain its aesthetic appeal for years to come.
The interior boasts 8 rows of removable panels, perfect for mason bee nesting and easy cleaning. The charred pine used to make the bored panels creates a cozy home for the bees. The stain-proof poly lumber further enhances the durability and maintenance of the entire structure, which is proudly made in the USA.
Measuring 11.5"H x 5.5"W x 7.5"L, this bee house will attract a variety of pollinators, including mason, orchard, leaf-cutter, aphid or carpenter bees. The included mounting hardware allows for easy attachment to the side of a post or building, with the house facing East or Southeast to take advantage of the morning sun that helps bees fly early to collect pollen.
Crafted from pine rows and recycled poly lumber, this Small Mason Bee House is designed to withstand any weather conditions. The resilient, recycled poly lumber will not crack, split or fade when placed outdoors, ensuring the house maintains its visual appeal for years to come.
The eight rows of removable pine panels facilitate easy cleaning, allowing you to prepare the house for the bees' seasonal activities. In the spring, when temperatures reach 55°F, adult mason bees will emerge and the females will seek out the house to lay their eggs. Over the following weeks, the eggs will hatch, and the larvae will feed on the available pollen and nectar, before spinning cocoons and developing into adult bees.
In the fall, you can carefully remove the panels to observe the cocoons, each of which can contain up to 8 individual bees. These cocoons can then be carefully removed and stored in the refrigerator for the winter months, before being placed outside in late winter or early spring to allow the adults to emerge.
Detailed instructions are provided to guide you through the seasonal maintenance and management of your Mason Bee House. Additionally, the house is designed to attract bees, with the smell of charred pine proving irresistible to mason bees.
Offering a wealth of benefits, this Mason Bee House is a eco-friendly, effective way to support local pollinator populations. With its easy-to-use features, resilient construction, and detailed guidance, it's the perfect addition to any garden or outdoor space.
