Millions of tons of industrial wood waste end up in landfills each year due to natural knots, blemishes, and holes. Instead of discarding these pieces, we offer farm-grade trays that embrace these unique characteristics. These imperfections do not affect nesting bees but positively impact our environment.
Our farm-grade wood trays are durable, reusable, and designed for easy fall cocoon harvesting. Precision-crafted from Pacific Northwest alder, they provide a safe and natural nesting material for bees.
Specifications:
- Nesting Hole Diameter: 6mm (preferred size for alfalfa leafcutter bees)
- 78-Hole Count Tray: 3.25” H x 5.75” W x 6” D | Fits Cabin, Chalet, Villa, and Townhouse Bee Houses.
- 156-Hole Count Tray: 7" H x 5.75" W x 6" D | Fits Tower Houses.
- Note: Each tray features natural blemishes, knots, or holes.
- For DIY Bee Houses: Ensure the roof is a minimum of 3” longer than wood tray dimensions.
Product Features:
- Insulation and Moisture Control: Wood material provides excellent insulation and moisture control, protecting leafcutter bee cocoons from extreme temperatures and mold caused by excess moisture.
- Natural Nesting Scents: The porous nature of wood captures and retains natural nesting scents, helping to attract the next season's bees.
- Cost-Effective: Reusable wood trays reduce year-to-year costs.
- Visual Guidance: The front of the trays is lightly burned to create a visual pattern that helps female leafcutter bees locate their nests while removing splinters that can harm their wings.
- Pest Protection: Side notches lock into neighboring trays, maintaining alignment and blocking pests from entering the nest from the side. All wood trays come with removable cardboard backing and pest-blocker fabric to prevent pests and parasites from entering the nest from the back.
