Organic Orchard Mason Bee Cocoons for Pollination - Live Bee Cocoons Ready to Hatch - Perfect for Garden, Orchard & Backyard Pollinators - Supports Sustainable Agriculture & Biodiversity

Our orchard mason bees are  all raised in the Pacific Northwest. As their name implies, orchard mason bees are excellent pollinators of orchards. We carefully harvest them in the late autumn, sort them for viability, clean them, and then store them in a carefully controlled environment for our customers. More females increases the chance of higher reproduction rate. That is why our mason bee cocoons as a mix of at least 40% female to 60% male.   One hundred cocoons is a good count for a pollinating a small orchard. Forty cocoons is a good count for a backyard, and 20 cocoons for a small backyard. 

Cocoon shipments are done early in the week to reduce the risk of the cocoons getting stuck in a carrier’s warehouse over a weekend.
While we do ship them with an ice pack, we strongly advise shipping these by priority mail or faster.  Cocoons can emerge in transit if they are warmed up for several days.
