Leafcutter and wild bee cocoons are not waterproof and cannot be washed or stored in the fridge. Mason bee cocoons stored in the fridge must be kept moist during long-term fridge storage, use a HumidiBee to store your mason bee cocoons in your fridge over the winter. Do not use outside the bee house as hot sun may damage the hatchery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/crownbees.com\/pages\/cocoon-hatchery-instructions\" title=\"Bee Cocoon Hatchery - Green Tube - Crown Bees\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Instructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown Bees","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49072061219124,"sku":"111045","price":10.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/7018\/4244\/files\/3DCocoonHatcherySidewithFront-CrownBees.png?v=1775143857"}],"url":"https:\/\/crownbees.com\/collections\/gifts-for-bee-lovers.oembed?page=2","provider":"CrownBees","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
