Product Description
"Red Mason Bees are docile bees, which are safe with children and pets. They are excellent pollinators of fruit trees, soft fruit, herbs and a wide range of other plants. These friendly and solitary bees can be attracted to nest in your garden by the provision of Red Mason Bee Nester Kits. These contain nesting tubes for the female Red Mason Bees to lay their eggs in. The nests should be placed in the garden in March and April. Once a female has laid an egg in one of these tubes, it will develop through the year into a pupae which will then overwinter in the nest and hatch as an adult bee the following spring. Available as a Large nest with 100 tubes or Small nest with 30 tubes, made from durable terracotta coloured plastic."

A fascinating experience
Mason bees are great pollinators, thirty times more effective (per bee) than honey bees. A pity there are normally so few. These nests make sure that every year you have mason bees in your garden. The nests will last many years being reused by successive generations of mason bees. The bees don't sting and a best for pollinating apples. You will get rounder fruit (all five septums of the flower having been pollinated).
