What Does
Renting Mean?
We send you solitary bees and a clean nesting block to place in your yard. The bees emerge, pollinate the flowers, and build their nest.
At the end of the season you return your rented nesting block back to us and we'll harvest, clean and care for the bees.
Why Solitary Bees?
Grow More Fruit
Better Pollination
Poor pollination makes small, lopsided fruit. A well-pollinated blossom fills out. Mason bees work fruit trees in early spring. Leafcutters take the summer garden.
Our bees
Strengthen your Ecosystem
They Help the Yard
You hang a house. She finds a hole and packs it. Hosts raise the next generation that also pollinates farms. No hive to tend.
Plants
Non-Aggressive & Safe Around Kids
They Are Fun to Host
Kids can stand next to the house. They can hold a cocoon. These bees do not defend a hive, so ordinary garden use does not mean a suit.
