Summer Leafcutter Bees - 200 ct

Summer Leafcutter Bees are the perfect solution for gardeners looking to supercharge pollination during the warmest months of the year. These gentle, non-aggressive bees are 100X more efficient than honey bees and are ideal for pollinating a wide range of summer crops, including melons, cucumbers, beans, sunflowers, and strawberries. Whether you're an experienced grower or just getting started, these pollinator leafcutter bees for gardens are a natural way to increase yields and encourage healthy, vibrant blooms.

Thriving in temperatures above 75°F (24°C), Summer Leaf Bees are specially adapted for warm-weather performance. Each order includes 200+ live summer leafcutter bee cocoons, incubated and ready for release. Some may hatch within a few days, while others emerge gradually over 10 days, giving your garden a steady wave of pollination. Their active period lasts 4–6 weeks, and for extended coverage, you can order leafcutter bees for pollination in two shipments spaced four weeks apart.

To support your bees, provide 6 mm nesting tubes or reeds, along with access to soft, non-fibrous leaves such as rose, lilac, or hosta. Blooming plants should be present when bees emerge to ensure ample pollen sources. Leafcutter bees naturally travel further than Mason bees, so the generous cocoon quantity ensures robust garden coverage.

Shipping runs May through August via FREE FedEx 2Day every Monday, so you can buy live leafcutter bees timed to your region’s peak bloom. Every order includes detailed care instructions. If you're looking for leafcutter bees for sale online, this is a reliable, effective choice to bring your garden to life.
