Home / How to Host a Cocoon Harvest Party

Hosting a Harvest Party

Harvesting cocoons is more than a moment to care for your Mason bees—it’s a chance to bring people together and support pollinators in your community.
CrownBees

Why Host a Harvest Party?

Harvesting Mason bee cocoons helps keep your bees healthy by removing pests like Houdini flies and pollen mites, while getting a count on how many viable cocoons you have. When more people take part, we see stronger bee populations, better pollination, and healthier gardens the following Spring.

Parties can be casual and cozy, or neighborhood wide. Add a seed swap. Host a potluck. Invite kids to help count cocoons. However you celebrate, you're helping others feel empowered to care for native pollinators too.

Harvest, Share & Connect!

Harvest Parties are a fun way to trade cocoons, swap tips, and celebrate the Mason bees that keep our gardens thriving. Together we can protect next spring’s pollinators and build a stronger bee-loving community.

Fill out our participation interest form below by October 6 to tell share if you’d like to host or attend.

Hosts: We’ll send easy resources and planning support.
Attendees: With your permission, we’ll share your email only with local hosts so they can invite you.

Join the buzz—meet neighbors, share knowledge, and help the next generation of Mason bees!
