Instructions | 1. Install your bee house on a sturdy wall or fence facing the morning sun (south or south-east). Install at eye-level for ease of watching nesting bees. 2. In the summer, place 78-hole reusable wood nesting tray (6mm size holes) into the bee house and place your summer leafcutter cocoons inside, towards the back. In the fall, remove filled nesting tray and protect over the winter in the BeeGuard Bag. Harvest summer leafcutter cocoons in early spring and incubate them for next summer's pollination. 3. To extend the life of your bee house, uninstall the bee house and store over the fall and winter in an unheated garage or shed. 4.

FAQs | Summer leafcutter bees ship May through August. Not sure when to have your summer leafcutter bees delivered? Leafcutter bees need minimum 75F and your summer garden blooms ready to pollinate. If you are planting seeds or small starts, it may be several weeks before the plants are mature enough to blossom. Please note: Leafcutter bees take about 3 weeks for us to incubate. If you request shipping prior to three weeks from the date of your order, shipping will be on a first come - first serve basis. |
