Support Healthy Pollinators, Right from Your Backyard

Everything you need to raise Mason bees, Leafcutter bees, and other gentle, cavity-nesting bees is right here. Since 2008, Crown Bees has helped gardeners across the country bring solitary bees into their yards, gardens, and balconies.

Start with live bee cocoons, sourced by region and shipped free by FedEx 2Day on the date you choose. Add a cedar bee house made in the USA from sustainably sourced Pacific Northwest wood, then fill it with natural reeds, wood trays or paper tubes your bees can nest in year after year. Every bee house and nesting material we make meets the BeeSafe™ Standard, our science-based approach to nesting and seasonal care.

When the season ends, our harvest tools make caring for cocoons simple, from the Cocoon Finder to the Clean Bee™ Solution. You’ll also find complete kits, seeds for pollinator-friendly gardens, and Dave Hunter’s book, Mason Bee Revolution.

New to solitary bees? Start with a complete kit with bees, or see which wild bees are already near you with our Where the Wild Bees Are tool.
