Bring more native pollinators to your yard with a durable bee hotel built for easy maintenance.

It’s designed to make collecting cocoons straightforward while giving solitary bees a safe place to nest near flowers and fruit trees.

How does the wax coating improve outdoor performance?

The full-body wax coating slows wood weathering and sheds moisture to help the bee house last longer outdoors. It reduces warping and helps nesting tubes remain dry so larvae develop under more stable conditions.

• Full-body wax layer for water resistance and UV protection
• Reduces wood swelling and cracking in wet seasons
• Helps maintain tube shape for consistent nesting

What makes this bee house easy to use for beginner keepers?

The POLLIBEE mason bee house ships fully assembled with mounting hardware and a hanging rope so you can install it right away. The uniform 5/16" diameter, 6" long tubes are a standard size for mason bees and make cocoon retrieval and inspection straightforward.

• Comes assembled with hook, nails, and 1m hanging rope
• Stainless-steel screw clasp on the back for stable mounting
• Standard tube dimensions simplify cocoon removal and replacement

Will this house actually attract mason bees and help my garden?

The shelter provides appropriate entrance sizes and a sheltered cavity area that appeals to solitary cavity-nesting bees like mason bees. Placing the house near blooms and water increases the chance it will be colonized, which can improve local pollination where native bees are present.

• 5/16" diameter holes match mason bee nesting preferences
• Shaded, south- to southeast-facing placement encourages occupancy
• Supports pollination of nearby flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees

How do I maintain the bee hotel and protect cocoons?

Periodic checks and seasonal cleaning extend the life of the house and help reduce pests. After the nesting season, remove and store cocoons or replace nesting tubes as recommended to keep parasites and mold at bay.

• Inspect tubes annually and replace or sanitize as needed
• Collect cocoons in late fall for refrigerated overwintering if desired
• Keep the house mounted in a dry, protected spot to minimize rot

Who is this for: Gardeners, small orchard owners, and anyone who wants to support native pollinators will find this POLLIBEE mason bee house useful. It’s especially suited to beginners who want a ready-to-hang solution with standard-sized tubes for easy cocoon handling, plus hobbyist beekeepers seeking a low-maintenance way to boost pollination without managing social hives.
