Mason Bee Cocoons are sold out for this season
and I will again be able to supply Phragmites Native Reed Grass Tubes after May 14.
=================================
Pre-ordering cocoons by Paypal is possible:
30 Mason Bee Cocoons for $25.00.for pick up at my farm in Metchosin.
NOTE: I DO NOT SEND COCOONS BY MAIL. you can pick them up at the farm
I also have Phragmites reed grass tubes for culturing mason bees for sale. I can ship the tubes through the mail.–For customers who are not local, I package these tubes in lots of 33 for $15.00 plus shipping costs. Included are a variety of lengths and diameters. A few smaller diameters attract other mason bee species and leafcutter bees. Indicate the maximum tube length you prefer when ordering.
The native reed Phragmites australis ssp. americanus is grown on my farm. These are considered to be the best tubes for encouraging the native mason bee pollinators….Check out the reasons for using Phragmites tubes and comparisons with other types of tubes here:
Also by putting out the tubes alone without releasing bees, you can in some areas attract the native pollinators to build their nests in the empty tubes anyway. That’s the way I first obtained mason bee cocoons.
See below for details on ordering if you cannot pick them up at the farm. I can have these available at any time of year, and it is best to get them set out by March.
