  • Please allow 48 hours for your order to process. Orders typically ship in 3-5 business days. Bee cocoons will ship in the spring and summer, weather permitting. Keep an eye on your email for confirmation and updates. Orders ship domestically through USPS. Shipping times will vary by location.

  • Bee Cocoons are sold and shipped separately from our other products. Mason Bees ship in the spring when temperatures reach 50°F. Leafcutting Bees ship in the summer when temperatures reach 70°F. All of our Bee Houses include a redemption voucher for bee cooons at no extra cost.

  • Place your Bee House about 5 feet off the ground and facing southeast to receive morning sun. The warmth of the sun will help your bees take flight. If possible, place your bee house under an overhang to protect your bees from wind and rain. Distance your bee house from any existing bird houses. Store your Bee House indoors during winter.

  • Don’t worry! If the temperatures drop or it’s rainy for a few days, everything is okay. Your bees will feed on the nectar and pollen provisions they have collected, staying warm and dry in their nesting reeds or blocks.
