Blue Orchard Mason Bees

$2.00 – $5.00

We will begin shipments March 7, 2022 and will continue to April 11, unless we’re sold out beforehand. You may place your orders now, and do remember to let us know when you’d like to get your bees.

Remember, you must store your bees in the refrigerator to keep them from hatching too soon, and put them out AFTER trees have started to bloom in your area.

If you are in an area experiencing a cold snap (below zero, for example) you may not want to have your bees shipped then, because very cold temperatures can kill the bees while being shipped. Similarly, if it’s overly warm, bees can emerge while in transit, putting them at risk.

We ship bees via USPS priority mail in insulated, cooled containers. We ship mason bees only to the continental 48 United States, and cannot ship to PO Boxes.

Due to factors beyond our control, shipped bees might be subjected to excessive heat or freezing cold during transit, causing them to either emerge while in shipment or fail to emerge once warmed. No refunds on bee purchases and bees are not returnable.

If you order live bees, please ensure that spring has begun in your area, that is, early fruit trees are beginning to blossom. Without blooming trees or blossoms, your new bees may starve if put out too early. Please include a note with your order for your preferred shipping date.

California Customers, Please Read

California residents ordering bees require a permit from California agricultural authorities. To obtain a permit before you order, please refer to these instructions.

Product Description

We sell our bees in 6” tubes and 12” folded tubes. A 6” tube will contain between four and eight cocoons; 12” tubes contain 12 to 18 cocoons each. Within each tube, female eggs are laid furthest from the entrance and male eggs nearest.

Tubes are constructed of mylar-coated paper; the outer mylar surface repels water, while inner paper surface absorbs any liquids discharged as the bees evolve.  

Each pre-inspected tube is cared for throughout the summer and winter. We don’t open the tubes to clean them or identify their gender. This helps us to keep our prices low and very affordable.

Urban Pollinators can provide mason bees, secure in nesting tubes, from March through April, while supplies last.
