Description

125 Reed Native Mason Bee Nesting Tubes
This pack of phragmite reed tubes contains 125 pieces. These tubes are hand cut and perfectly sized for native bees to maximize male to female bee larvae (approx 5”), and naturally vary in diameter (selected in the range of 5-12mm only) to help attract a variety of different solitary bees. Many bee houses have short tubes. This makes most of the bees hatch as males.
You can use these reed tubes in a variety of different native bee houses; they are easy to split open so you can gently inspect & store your precious bee babies. This helps to lessen damage to the bee larvae, which frequently happens in bee houses that use bamboo tubes for more than a single season. Unlike many other single season use mason bee houses available today that are made with bamboo tubes, this means that you can enjoy your bee house for many years.
Most 'bee hotel' products available do not allow for easy cleaning of nesting cavities. This step is often overlooked, but it is so incredibly important! You can imagine that a dirty hotel is not a good place for bees to raise their young... After all, would you stay in a hotel that couldn't be cleaned? No, us neither!
Bee 'Hotels' have become very popular in recent years, but if they can't easily be cleaned, will usually become a very risky place for bees to nest in as time goes on - using our quick-place Nesting Tubes system allows a chance each season to reset the beehive and start fresh!
Package dimensions are 9.92 x 7.48 x 3.27 inches.
