Crafted from alder wood, these trays offer insulation and moisture control, safeguarding mason bee cocoons from extreme temperatures and preventing mold formation due to excess moisture. The porous nature of wood enables it to capture and retain natural nesting scents, aiding in attracting bees for the next season. The reusability of these wood trays minimizes annual costs, making them an economical and sustainable choice for bee raisers. 

The front of the trays undergoes a light burning process, creating a visual pattern that assists female mason bees in locating their nests while also removing splinters that might potentially harm the bees' wings. Incorporated side notches enable interlocking with neighboring trays, maintaining alignment and acting as a barrier against pests entering from the sides. 

Each wood tray includes removable cardboard backing and pest-blocker fabric, effectively preventing pests and parasites from entering the nest through the back, ensuring the safety of the nesting environment. Investing in Spring Reusable Wood Trays for Mason Bees - 8mm translates into actively contributing to the conservation and support of Mason bee populations. These trays prioritize functionality, durability, and bee safety, providing an optimal nesting material that caters to the bees' specific needs. 

Their design elements, such as insulation, moisture control, scent retention, and pest prevention, collectively contribute to fostering a conducive environment for mason bee nesting. The reusability factor not only reduces year-to-year costs but also aligns with sustainable practices, making these trays an essential tool for responsible bee raising and habitat conservation.
