Bee Houses for Solitary Bees

Raise healthy mason bees and leafcutter bees with our complete collection of supplies and actual bees. These gentle native solitary bees don’t form large colonies like honey bees or bumble bees, but instead use nesting tubes, cardboard tubes, and bee boxes to lay only about a dozen eggs a year.

A well-placed bee house in morning sun offers a safe place for bee cocoons to hatch next spring, bringing vital pollinators to your garden. With the right bee home, nesting materials, and location, you’ll enjoy watching these beneficial insects thrive, pollinate your plants, and support a stronger, more natural backyard ecosystem.
