Durable and sustainable, our Wood Trays meet the Crown Bees BeeSafe™ Standard and support BeeSafe™ Seasonal Care. Whether you're new to bees or an experienced bee raiser, these trays make caring for your Leafcutter bees simple and keep them healthy year after year.

Why Choose Wood Trays?

• Eco-Friendly & Sturdy: Made from precision-cut Pacific Northwest alder, these trays are natural, reusable, and built to last.
• Bee Health & Comfort: Wood insulates and controls moisture, protecting cocoons from extreme temperatures and dampness.
• Simple Harvesting: The trays open in layers, so you can easily harvest your Leafcutter cocoons in spring and keep your bees healthy.
• Visual Guidance for Bees: A light, hand-burned pattern on the front helps female bees find their nesting holes and removes splinters that could harm their wings.

Product Features:

• Pest Protection: Side notches align the trays and keep pests out. Included pest-blocker fabric and cardboard backing protect the nest from behind.
• Reusable & Cost-Effective: Durable trays you can use season after season.
• Natural Nesting Scents: Porous wood holds nesting scents, drawing bees back to the trays year after year.
