Mason Bee Mud Box: The Original Mud Architects!

Female mason bees are nature's architects, building nest chambers with clay-rich mud to create individual spaces for each developing baby bee. Each chamber is sealed with a thick mud cap to protect their offspring from predators, ensuring they emerge healthy and ready to pollinate in the spring.

Did you know? Mason bees won't nest unless a reliable source of clay mud is available within 25 sq. ft.!

Why Clay-Mud is Essential:

• Mason bees prefer mud with a high clay content, similar to modeling clay.
• Arid locations, sandy soil, and rooftop gardens often lack the proper moisture levels to keep mud usable for mason bees.

The Mud Box: A Smart Solution with Capillary Action

The Mason Bee Mud Box uses capillary action to ensure that mason bees always have access to perfectly moist mud. Here's how it works:

• Water stored in the Mud Box is wicked up through the black capillary cloth and under the Mason Bee Mud Mix.
• This keeps the clay mud at the ideal moisture level for nesting.
• Depending on weather conditions, the water in the storage bin may last 1–2 weeks before needing a refill.

Includes:

• 1 cup of dried clay (Mason Bee Mud Mix)
• 1 capillary cloth
• 1 Mud Box
• Easy-to-follow instructions for setup
