Spring Nesting Material

Shopping Cart

Spring nesting materials are suitable for two species of mason bee: Early spring mason bee Osmia lignaria and the late spring mason bee Osmia californica. They are a larger bee (then the summer bee species) and fit the 5/16″ or 7.5mm diameter nesting holes.

Our line of spring Nesting Materials consists of:

1) Corn Quicklock trays-stacked to make 30 or 72 holes. These are interlocking pieces that fit together and are stackable. The material used is a natural Corn material (75%). The smaller stack of 30 fits into the Lodge / Chalet / Royal and the 72′s fit into the largest home, the Highrise

2) Ezy-Harvest cardboard nesting tubes can be bundled to fit in all homes. This new product has the paper aligned which makes it easier to open and harvest cocoons in the fall. It is available in 6″ length. The shorter 4.5″ tube is less expensive and is made of the regular type nesting tubes. Once these tubes have been used and opened up in the fall, they are repalced with new tubes.

- Natural Phragmites Reeds can be bundled to fit in all homes. These are a favourate natural product and are very easy to open for fall harvesting of bee cocoons. Just squeeze at one end and the reed cracks. This is a new product and we always seem to be in short supply. Order early.

Corn material is an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. Corn is a renewable and a sustainable product.

Note the different colors and shades of colors of the Quicklock nesting trays. These colors and shades help mason bees find their own nesting tunnel. Mason bees use colour to find their nests readily and reliably.

Our Quicklock nesting trays have matching grooves. When paired and stacked, the trays form nesting tunnels 7.5 mm or 5/16 of an inch in diameter – the optimum size that mason bees prefer. The stacking design makes cleaning and harvesting a snap. In the fall, simply pop the trays apart and gently slide the cocoons out of the exposed grooves with our Bee Scoop.
