Mason bees don’t produce honey and they don’t sting but they are superior pollinators for your backyard orchard, flying in cool spring weather that would ground a honey bee. The bees nest in a wood block and lay eggs that hatch out to pollinate your trees. The new bees return to empty straws to lay more eggs. This cycle is repeated year after year! You will receive two sets of empty straws. An empty straw goes in each hole and you get a replacement set of empty straws for next year.  full description
