EXCLUSIVE TO CJ WILDLIFE CUSTOMERS
Red Mason Bees (Osmia rufa) are safe with children and pets and are hugely beneficial to our gardens and crops as they are excellent pollinators of fruit trees, raspberries, strawberries and vegetables and are fond of a wide range of flowers and tree blossom.
Our trials with Red Mason Bees in cherry and apple orchards have shown superb results. The quality of the fruit is greatly enhanced and you need relatively few Red Mason Bees to achieve these results compared to other bees.
Now, exclusively from CJ Wildlife, you can buy your own Red Mason Bee Cocoons. When they emerge and start nesting in your garden, you will be helping to boost the local population of these super pollinators which in turn will help your garden flourish.
It is recommended that you provide your new Red Mason Bees with an artificial nest, your bee cocoons will be delivered in a release chamber which you place inside the bee nest (by removing some tubes to make space) and then uncover the hole in the cap ready for when they emerge.
Caring for your Red Mason Bee cocoons
If you have already bought some of our red mason bee cocoons (or are just about to!) the documents (PDF format) below should help you learn how to store and care for them to maximise the survival and hatching rates.
