Bees Prefer Color-Enhancement!

Designed for "findability", durability, reusability, and easy cocoon harvesting.

Our color-enhanced wood trays are the "level up" for dedicated Mason bee raisers.

Why Your Bees Will Love Them

• In an experiment, we "asked" nesting bees which trays they preferred, color- enhanced or plain. After a few weeks, the answer was obvious, most all bees preferred the colored-enhanced trays. We believe random colors create differentiation of holes over just burnished trays. 
• Precision-Crafted from Alder: Made in the USA from Pacific Northwest alder, these trays are a safe and natural nesting material for Mason bees.
• Hassle-Free Cocoon Harvesting: Designed for easy cocoon removal in the fall, ensuring a smoother bee-raising experience.
• Cost-Effective & Reusable: Built to last for multiple seasons, offering excellent value for your investment.
• Bee-Friendly Design: The lightly burned front creates visual patterns to guide female Mason bees and eliminates splinters that can harm their wings.

Key Features

• Color-enhanced front face with very unique patterns: Using premium latex paint with all VOC's evaporated.
• Insulation & Moisture Control: Protects cocoons from temperature extremes and mold.
• Natural Nesting Scents: Wood’s porous nature retains natural scents, attracting Mason bees for the next season.
