Gifts for Gardeners and Friends of Bees

Looking for a gift for a gardener? Our bee houses are built around what solitary bees need to thrive: the right nesting hole size, a 2" overhang to keep out rain, a built-in hatchery, and nesting materials you can open and clean each year. Every house is made in the USA from FSC-certified cedar, meets the BeeSafe™ Standard, and is safe around kids and pets.

For someone new to bees: Our complete kits include a cedar house, nesting materials, and a bee certificate. The house ships now, and your recipient picks a ship date so their Mason bees or Leafcutter bees arrive when the weather is right in their yard.

For someone who already raises bees: Choose an upgrade like a larger cedar house, color-enhanced nesting trays, or BeePOPs and Bee Wayfinders to help bees find their way home.

For kids who love nature and bugs: The Bee Observer tray lets them watch bees build their nests, and our picture books make an easy add-on.

For the gardener who has everything: Field guides, native plant books, and pollinator playing cards fit any budget, and a gift card lets them choose for themselves.

Can I give Mason bees as a gift?
Yes. The bee house, nesting materials, and guide ship right away. The bees are living cocoons, so they ship on the date your recipient chooses: Mason bees in spring and Leafcutter bees in summer. Every kit includes a bee certificate that explains how to pick the date. Have more questions? See our Mason Bee FAQs and Leafcutter Bee FAQs.
