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.
