Mason Bee Cedar Shelter with Bee Houses

The Mason Bee Cedar Shelter with Bee Houses provides a weather-sheltered structure for organizing nesting materials used by solitary mason bees. The red-cedar shelter includes three standard nesting blocks with 68 tubes in each block. Mason bees are not included, so the unit is a habitat component rather than a live-insect shipment.

Mount the shelter using the predrilled holes and included screws, choosing a stable location protected from rain and harsh afternoon exposure. The structure measures approximately 14.25 inches long, 7 inches tall, and 7.5 inches deep. Face and position it according to local mason-bee habitat guidance, near suitable spring forage and a source of moist clay-rich mud. Keep vegetation from blocking the entrances and avoid spraying pesticides near occupied nesting tubes.

Seasonal care matters. Inspect nesting materials, protect developing bees from moisture and predators, and clean or replace tubes according to the nesting-system directions to reduce disease and parasite buildup.
