I am continuously on the lookout for items that might be of interest to mason bee enthusiasts.
We have just added a Mason Bee Home kit to our line of Beediverse products.
The neat thing is that it assembles without nails or glue! It includes instructions on how to roll your own paper nesting tubes. This is an awesome product. Another big advantage to this home is that it ships flat. Savings in shipping is significant.

| Kit- Mason Bee Home |
This is the perfect item for people who like to put things together. A great school project!
Once assembled, the Bee home can be set out on an east facing wall, in a sunny location and under an overhang. It houses 40 mason bees and is ready to pollinate your fruit trees.
The kit includes pre-cut wooden bee box, mounting nails, sand paper, pre-cut Kraft paper for 40 bee tubes, dowel for rolling bee tubes, and tape for taping bee tubes.
This home is big enough to fit a Quicklock nesting tray with 30 holes and with room to spare for additional nesting tubes or a release shelter.
Instructions include how to assemble the bee home and how to roll your own bee nesting tubes.
What a fun project for a school garden class. I think our grade three class would love to make these.
Yes, this kit is perfect for school children. They can make it their very own by decorating it. Eight year old and older children have the dexterity needed to roll nesting tubes. I have run classes and have included 2 grades in the same class. The older children make the nesting tubes and the younger children assemble the house and paint it.
