The solitary bee nester for mason and leaf cutter bees is made in naturally durable cedar timber with additional stacking trays which can be opened for inspection and cleaning. Always a friend to the gardener, attracting solitary bees to the backyard is not only safe but good for pollinating flowers, fruit, and vegetables. These bees are non-aggressive and cannot excavate their own holes, so they do not pose a danger to wooden housing.

I have been wanting to help out the bees in our yard, and this hive looked interesting. I really like that I will be able to open it to check who's living in it, and will be able to clean it out when necessary. I had a very strong odor, not quite cedar but not too awful. My cat loved rubbing all over it, so she liked it. last year none of my hostas ended up with seeds, so I am eager to see if this bee house helps keep them around enough to pollinate my flowers. It came in a super cute & informative box so it would make a great gift for a nature-minded kid... or anyone who likes being nosey and peeking into little cedar houses!. Christy.
