Mason Bee Cocoons and Wooden Box

30 Blue Orchard Mason Bees, not in tubes, with a small wooden release box.

There are two different patterns on the lid of the boxes. One pattern is stripes and the other is a checkerboard pattern.

When you receive your cocoons and box, unpack the cocoons and place them in the box. Then you can place the box inside your bee house if there is room, or place it on top or near the house. When the mason bees emerge from the cocoons they will exit the box through holes drilled in the side.

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. Temperature in your area must be above 55 degrees. Please include a note with your order for your preferred Monday shipping date. We ship live bees on Mondays to minimize their total time in transit. All mason bee cocoons will be mailed priority mail, no exceptions.
