Description:
Did you know millions of tons of industrial wood waste end up in landfills annually due to natural imperfections like knots, blemishes, and holes? Instead of contributing to this waste, we offer discounted farm-grade trays that embrace these unique characteristics. Not only do these imperfections not impact nesting bees, but they also positively impact our environment by reducing waste.
Crafted from precision-cut Pacific Northwest alder, our farm-grade wood trays are a sustainable and natural nesting material for bees. These trays are long-lasting, reusable, and designed for easy fall cocoon harvesting.
Specifications:
- Nesting Materials Diameter: 8mm (preferred size for mason bees)
- 48-Hole Count Tray: 3.25” H x 5.5” W x 6” D | Fits Cabin, Chalet, and Townhouse Bee Houses.
- 96-Hole Count Tray: 7" H x 5.75" W X 6" D | Fits Tower Houses
- Note: Each tray features natural blemishes, knots, or holes.
- For DIY Bee Houses: Ensure the roof is a minimum of 3” longer than wood tray dimensions.
Features:
- Insulation and Moisture Control: Wood material provides insulation and moisture control, protecting mason bee cocoons from extreme temperatures and mold caused by excess moisture.
- Natural Nesting Scents: Being porous, wood captures and retains natural nesting scents, attracting next season's bees.
- Cost-Effective: Reusable wood trays minimize year-to-year costs.
- Visual Guidance: The lightly burned front creates a visual pattern aiding female mason bees in locating their nests while removing splinters that can harm bees’ wings.
- Pest Protection: Side notches lock into neighboring trays, retaining alignment and blocking pests from entering the nest from the side. Additionally, all wood trays come with removable cardboard backing and pest-blocker fabric to prevent pests and parasites from entering the nest from the back.
