Phil the groundhog says we'll have an early spring, and it's sure feeling like it.
Now is the perfect time to think about giving your gardens and trees a jump start.
Mason bees start earlier and pollinate more efficiently than honey bees, and are very easy to raise.
Their annual life cycle means you care for them easily, on your own schedule.
As a huge plus, they do not sting, making them ideal for introducing kids to garden husbandry.
Whether spring comes early or late, getting the bees to you now lets them acclimate to your unique site, and start to emerge when your early flowers begin.
You may buy or build simple nest materials.
If you can drill long holes in wood, I have a design that’s easy to make and out-produces others that I’ve used.
Plans are free for the asking.
Commercial sources are up over $1 per cocoon.
I’ve chosen to keep my prices well below that, so it’s easy to get started.
100 or more are an added 10% off.
I offer:
20 cocoons for $10 100 cocoons for $45
50 cocoons for $25 200 cocoons for $90
My cocoons are all cleaned and candled.
The shipping container doubles as a release box; they are ready to go to work for you.
You may pick these up in Tumwater at these prices, or I can mail for an added $5.

We can work on your order, answer questions, and provide more information.
