Know before you buy
Mount the house in a sunny, sheltered spot that faces south or southeast. It should be placed at least three to six feet off the ground, ideally near flowering plants to provide easy access to nectar and pollen.
Yes, it is recommended to clean the nesting tubes once a year, typically in late autumn or winter after the bees have emerged and finished their cycle. This helps prevent the buildup of parasites and keeps the habitat healthy for the next season.
While designed specifically for mason bees, other solitary pollinators may occasionally use the tubes. The structure is not intended for honeybees or wasps, and its design is generally unappealing to common garden pests.
The house is made from natural wood suitable for outdoor use. To extend its lifespan, you can apply a non-toxic, water-based sealant to the exterior, but ensure the nesting tubes remain untreated and free of chemicals.
Mason bees are naturally attracted to the nesting holes provided by the house. You can increase your chances of occupancy by ensuring there is a consistent source of pollen, nectar, and mud—which they use to seal their nests—within a short flight distance.
