Learn how to create a great habitat for solitary bees and welcome them into your yard. We'll teach you what a solitary bees is, best practices to raise them, how to rid predators and care for your bees and how to spot one in your yard.
WHAT ARE SOLITARY BEES? Unlike the social honey bees, solitary bees do not have a queen, do not live in a hive and do not produce honey. Without the need to protect a queen and honey, solitary bees are gentle, friendly and non-aggressive. Each female must find or create her own nest, and collect all of the food needed to feed herself and her eggs.
ONE OF NATURE'S BEST POLLINATORS Honey bees collect pollen on their back legs, whereas solitary bees are belly floppers. They flop onto blossoms collecting pollen all over their bodies. This enables them to pollinate 95% of the flowers they land on and they visit over 2,000 flowers a day. They truly are one of nature's best pollinators.
HOW TO HOST: Our program makes it easy to become a solitary bee host. Gardeners purchase a bee kit that comes with house, nesting block, clay and bees. You release solitary bees into your yard and rent our nesting blocks for your bees. When you release the bees into your yard they will pollinate and enrich your habitat and ecosystem. Solitary means alone… by themselves. They don’t have a hive or queen to protect. Each female finds all her own food and all her own nests. They use pre-made holes in your environment and will lay babies in your yard and your nesting block. Harvesting and cleaning the cocoons and blocks is a critical step when hosting solitary bees to remove harmful predators. When you rent from us we take care of the maintenance and cleaning for you. You keep the black house and return the nesting blocks back to us. The following year, you will just need to reorder an “insert” with a sterilized nesting block and clean bees. Please watch our Fall Harvest Video below to see how we clean them.
