This mason bee house was hand made by TheLastButterfly's very own father, out of lumber from felled trees from their property in Midland, North Carolina.
Mason bees are solitary bees, so unlike honey bees, they do not form a colony. They will lay their eggs in the tubes of this mason bee house in the spring, Mason bees are important native pollinators, and their species is on the decline. By putting a mason bee house in your garden, you can help ensure their long term survival while also benefiting from their highly efficient pollination.
Our mason bee hives are designed with the health and wellness of the mason bee in mind. The low-density house don't attract predators the way high density houses do. The cardboard tubes are dryer and cleaner than bamboo, so the bees are less likely to catch diseases. The deep cheapest overhanging roof also protects the tubes from rain. The bee house also features a removable back panel, so that the tubes can be easily replaced every season.
These bee houses are designed to be mounted to the top of a four by four inch post. Dimensions of the bee house are: 13 inches tall x 14 inches wide x 9 inches deep. Houses come with a green wash on the body of the house, and either a red roof wash or a purple roof wash.
