Description:

Millions of tons of industrial wood waste are discarded annually due to natural imperfections like knots, blemishes, and holes. Rather than adding to this waste, we offer discounted farm-grade trays that embrace these unique characteristics. These imperfections have no impact on nesting bees and positively contribute to environmental sustainability.

Crafted from precision-cut Pacific Northwest alder, our farm-grade wood trays are a natural, sustainable choice for bee nesting. They are long-lasting, reusable, and designed for easy fall cocoon harvesting.

Features:

• Insulation and Moisture Control: Wood provides natural insulation, protecting mason bee cocoons from extreme temperatures and mold caused by excess moisture.

• Natural Nesting Scents: Wood is porous, capturing and retaining nesting scents to attract the next season's bees.

• Cost-Effective: Reusable wood trays minimize your annual bee-raising costs.

• Visual Guidance: A lightly burned front surface creates a visual pattern to help female mason bees locate their nests while removing splinters that can damage their wings.

• Pest Protection:

  • Side Notches: Lock into neighboring trays to maintain alignment and block pests from entering through the sides.
  • Additional Protection: All trays come with removable cardboard backing and pest-blocker fabric to prevent pests and parasites from entering from the back.
