Songbird Essentials Mason Bee Lodge | Pollinator Nesting House

Songbird Essentials Mason Bee Lodge

Support gentle native pollinators and boost your garden harvest with the Songbird Essentials Mason Bee Lodge. Some types of bees, such as orchard, mason, and horn-faced bees, are mild mannered and solitary, welcomed in many gardens thanks to their excellent pollination. This hardy, redwood unit offers fantastic shelter to these bees, as they often roost in holes but are unable to excavate their own. The wealth of predrilled holes on the generous front panel creates several spots for a female bee to lay her eggs, and a keyhole opening on the back makes it simple to attach to a post, wall, or tree. The slanted roof directs water away from the openings, and overlapping panels on each side bring an architectural feel to your yard.

Placement Tips

Hang your bee house on a fence, wall or post 3 to 6 feet off the ground facing east or southeast so it catches morning sun. Place it near flowering plants and a source of mud, which mason bees use to seal their nesting tubes. Keep it sheltered from heavy rain, and replace or clean the tubes each year.
