Natural Nesting Reeds for Solitary Cavity-Nesting Bees

Support solitary, cavity-nesting wild bees with the Pollinator Pack for Wild Bees. This 40-count pack of natural reeds provides the ideal nesting habitat for mason bees, leafcutter bees, and other beneficial pollinators that prefer hollow stems for laying their eggs.

Each reed mimics the natural nesting materials found in standing deadwood, plant stems, or hollow twigs, creating a safe and familiar environment for bees to thrive. With multiple reed sizes included, this pack accommodates a range of native bee species and beneficial wasps that contribute to pollination and pest control in your garden.

Detailed Description

The Pollinator Pack for Wild Bees – 40 ct is designed to replicate the natural nesting habitats of solitary bees, which typically lay eggs in hollow plant stems and small wood cavities. The variety of reed diameters ensures nesting options for multiple species, from spring mason bees to summer leafcutters and other native pollinators.

Each pack includes 40 natural reeds, pre-cut to 6 inches, and ready to insert into your bee house. Bees will fill these reeds throughout the season, sealing the ends with mud, leaves, or resin to protect developing offspring.

For best results, replace reeds annually to maintain a clean and healthy environment. Bees that emerge from these nests will return to the same location, strengthening your local pollinator population year after year.
