Mason Bees (Tube of 6)

Referred to as solitary bees, they do not have a queen or a hive, they do not make honey and they tend not to sting. Mason Bees are active in colder temperatures which make them very effective in orchards or home gardens pollinating fruit trees. Six cocoons per tube, two females and four males.
