Pollinator Box:

There are over 4,000 species of solitary/native bees in North America, forming the most important group of pollinators. Different from social bees, like the honey bee, female solitary bees build there own nest and lay eggs individually in hollow pithy plant stems or beetle holes. Although, changes in our modern landscape towards a desire for neatness has resulted in the depletion of important nesting sites for solitary bees.

One way to help these vital pollinators is to incorporate pollinator boxes in close proximity to your garden spring-summer. The cavities in the box provides nesting sites for females to occupy and lay their eggs. Each box is equipped with four to six inch long removable trays, allowing for nesting sites to be easily cleaned and rotated each season.
