Features
- 8 Removable Routed Charred Pine Panels
- Easy to Remove Locking Block
- Resilient, Recycled Poly-Lumber Construction
- Includes Info Sheet on Mason Bees and Bee House Use
- Natural Charred Pine Scent Attracts Mason Bees
This hand-crafted Bee House from JCs Wildlife is made from durable recycled poly lumber with stainless steel screws and routed edges. It will not crack, split, fade, or stain, and the UV-protected colors stay vibrant for years. Inside are 8 removable charred-pine panels that create ideal nesting chambers for mason bees and make seasonal cleaning simple. Made in the USA.
This house attracts mason, orchard, leaf-cutter, aphid, and carpenter bees. Mount it on a post or building using the included hardware, facing East or Southeast so bees can warm up in the morning sun. Install 3–5 feet above ground and away from pesticide use. Bees will naturally locate the house without assistance.
Spring
When temperatures reach about 55°F, adult mason bees emerge, mate, and begin searching for nesting sites. Females lay eggs through late spring. Have your bee house installed before emergence.
Summer
Eggs hatch within about a week. Larvae feed on stored pollen and nectar, then spin cocoons in late June. No external activity is visible during this time. Do not disturb the house.
Fall
In October, remove the panels to inspect the cocoons. Each nesting channel may contain up to 8 cocoons. Carefully remove them and store them in a container in the refrigerator.
Winter
Cocoons remain dormant for about six months, either in the refrigerator or left in the house. Clean all nesting slots thoroughly before spring.
Next Spring
When temperatures reach about 57°F for several days, place the cocoons outside in a protective container with a small exit hole. Adults will emerge and begin the cycle again. For regional timing and species information, consult your local extension office.
Mason Bee Fun Facts
- Mason bees are 30–60 times more effective pollinators than honey bees.
- One female mason bee equals the pollination power of about 100 honey bees.
- Adults live only 3–6 weeks.

Well made with poly-wood externally and wood internally. It is also very cute! I can hardly wait until bees inhabit it. Also included was hanging hardware and info sheet on bees.

What a wonderful and we'll made bee house!! Looks great in our garden and cannot wait to see the first bees move in :). Loved the instructions that came with the house and the fun facts about mason bees :). Very sturdy house, well built and arrived quickly and we'll packaged! The house was very easy to hang. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a mason bee house!

Bees moved right in.

I just sat this outside on the porch and already have several full cells.

Had the house up for only one week, until the first guests moved in: ants. I kept watering them down with the garden hose. Then a bird tried to next at the top. Did not mind the bird so I stopped hosing down the bee house. But then ants moved back in by the thousands and actually starting to eat into the wood (they are not termites).

I thought it be a little bit bigger💞 over price little bit. But it nice 👍🏻

Sturdy well built Mason bee house. With the uv protected plastic it should last for years!!! I should have bought 3 to replace my 3 year old wooden ones that are dieing.
R
Very well made. A nice addition to my backyard certified wildlife habitat. It's very heavy and should hold up to the Texas sun better than most items I've purchased. It looks great too!

REVIEW UPDATE JULY /10/2020: The new wood beds arrived fast and I would recomend the peoduct!!REVIEW UPDATE JUN/25/2020: They responded fast and will send another set of wood beds.1st REVIEW: Some holes were made small and I don't expect that from a product that is not cheap, the double bee house has 16 wooden beds and 5 of them have small hallways. They use good materials, but do not have good standards in the construction of the product. I hope they improve.

Just opened my package. I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I can’t emphasize how amazed I am at the quality of this Bee House. Solid construction. best of all made in America. Worth every penny.
K
It is a well made, joyful add on, other than the fact it help the bees, and help the world. I have made a short video about it. :D https://youtu.be/2O7pOlS-X-4

I love the Mason bee house and look forward to the bees who will find and use it. It is well-made and will be so easy to clean out after the bees leave next spring. Plus, the yellow color is so cheery in the garden!

OK
C
After 2 seasons no bees. We had a plethora of bees years past using cheap bamboo mason bee houses!Thought I’d “upgrade”…big mistake!!!!I liked the concept that it’s easy to clean BUT All I’ve cleaned out the past 2 years are spider and bug cocoons.This is getting converted to a bird house next year. Will go back to to bamboo.Don’t waste your money like I did!
