Discover the wild bees in your garden!

Encourage the biodiversity of your garden and help support wild pollinators with the Chalet Bee House. This beautifully crafted bee house is made from sustainable Pacific Northwest cedar, providing a safe and natural nesting environment for solitary cavity-nesting wild bees. These gentle bees are not only effective pollinators but also fun for kids and safe around pets.

Product Features:

• Sustainably Sourced Cedar: Made from high-quality, locally sourced cedar from sustainable logging companies in the Pacific Northwest. The wood is naturally durable, weather-resistant, and ideal for creating a cozy, long-lasting home for wild bees.
• Handcrafted in Western Washington: Each Chalet Bee House is thoughtfully hand-crafted by skilled artisans in Western Washington, ensuring quality craftsmanship.
• Pollinator Pack of Natural Reeds: The set includes 80 reeds in a variety of sizes to accommodate a diverse range of wild bees, from the tiny zippy bees to larger summer bees.
  • 30 large reeds (for larger summer bees)
  • 30 medium reeds (for a variety of species)
  • 20 small reeds (perfect for tiny bees)
  • All reeds are about 6 inches in length.
• Cavity-Nesting Wild Bees: These solitary bees prefer nesting in hollow reeds, standing dead trees, and fallen logs. The varied reed sizes mimic these natural environments and provide bees with the right space to lay their eggs and build nests.
• Easy Cocoon Removal: The natural reeds are easy to open, allowing you to safely remove healthy cocoons when it's time for harvesting.
• Fresh Nesting Materials: To maintain bee health, provide fresh nesting materials each year, reducing the risk of disease and pests spreading.

Future Flexibility with Built-In Hatchery:

• Built-In Cocoon Hatchery: The Chalet Bee House includes a hatchery area designed to safely store and release spring mason bees or summer leaf bees if you decide to expand your pollination efforts in the future.
• Overhang for Weather Protection: The 2-inch roof overhang ensures the bees' nesting materials are sheltered from rain and wind, keeping their homes safe and dry.
• Easy Installation: A keyhole slot on the back allows for quick installation on a fence, wall, or post, and easy removal during the winter months.
