Support Healthy Pollinators, Right from Your Backyard

Everything you need to raise wild bees is right here. For years, Crown Bees has helped people across the country welcome Mason bees, Summer Leaf (Leafcutter) bees, and other gentle, hole-nesting bees into their yards, gardens, and balconies. This is our full lineup in one place.

You'll find live bee cocoons ready to release each season, bee houses sized for healthy nesting, and replacement nesting materials like natural reeds and wood trays. We carry the care tools that protect your bees too, including the Cocoon finder for sorting and the Houdini Fly Trap for keeping pests out. Add to that harvest supplies, Dave Hunter's book Mason Bee Revolution, and the resources behind the BeeSafe™ Standard, our approach to nesting and seasonal care that keeps bees thriving year after year.

Whether you're releasing your first ten cocoons or running a full season of nesting, you're in the right spot. Not sure where to begin? See which wild bees are active near you with our Where the Wild Bees Are tool, then come back and pick what fits your season.
