How does it work?
Native bees lay their eggs in a small tunnel, then cap the door to keep eggs safe. A year later the new bees emerge to repeat the cycle. The female bee will provision the nest with pollen for her young, during that process she is out pollinating the landscape. Native bees are the best pollinators in the world, better than bats, butterflies or honey bees.
Just set out a shelter and the little bees will find it. Increase bee population by giving them a home.

Why the little holes? Typically, native bees use abandoned beetle holes or cavities to nest, but, with habitat loss and pesticide use they are struggling to find safe shelter.
Our shelter mimics nature and provides a safe nest site for a female native bee.
